Zambia has so much to offer safari lovers, it’s impossible to tire of it. With the abundance of things to see and do, we found it difficult to narrow down the list of Zambia’s best safari experiences.
Whether you prefer to walk, paddle, soar or simply sit still and watch, Zambia has it all. It’s great national parks and reserves are renowned for the quality of the guided walking safari opportunities that they offer, but that’s merely the tip of the termite mound.
However you choose to explore during the best Zambia safari experiences – by vehicle, hot-air balloon or canoe – there’s always something new to discover here. Walking lets you slow down the pace and focus on some of the smaller details, while a hot-air balloon flight enables you to take in the vastness of the landscapes, and view wildlife from a whole different perspective.
Our advice to all travellers to Zambia is to expect the unexpected, from the Kasanka bat migration (whose participants outnumber the itinerant wildebeest of East Africa) to the chance to tussle with a tiger.
Zambia has an untouched quality to it – and therein lies much of its charm. It’s this rawness that makes the best Zambia safari experiences so special. Not for nothing has this alluring and sometimes perplexing country been dubbed ‘the real Africa’.
