Why Zambia will stay with you
Zambia is a place of raw beauty and true wilderness. It’s one of Southern Africa’s last great safari secrets – vast, unspoiled and full of life. Here, the bush feels untouched. You’ll encounter wildlife in their purest form – walking quietly alongside herds of elephant, tracking elusive leopards, or drifting silently on a mokoro through tranquil wetlands.
Zambia’s rhythms are slow and steady. Nights under the stars are filled with the calls of hippos and the rustle of nocturnal creatures. Every moment here is a chance to connect deeply with the wild.

South Luangwa National Park
The birthplace of walking safaris
The South Luangwa is Zambia’s most iconic park and the spiritual home of walking safaris. Its rich floodplains, woodlands and lagoons support dense populations of elephant, buffalo, lion, and the rare Thornicroft’s giraffe. It's also renowned for its high concentrations of hippo during the dry season as the Luangwa River slowly dries up.
Walking with expert guides here brings you close to the bush in a way no vehicle can match. Game drives and night safaris also reveal the park’s incredible diversity and beauty.
Like many destinations in Zambia, during the rainy season many lodges close, so check with us when planning your safari.
Best for: Walking safaris, predator sightings, birding.
When to go: May–October for dry season wildlife concentrations; November–April for green season and spectacular birding.
