Overview

Considered one of Africa’s best kept secrets, Zambia is one of a few countries that’s a sure fire bucket list checker. Having given over a third of it’s lands to national parks, adventures in Zambia don’t usually include other people’s footprints. Being one of the most unspoilt countries in the world, it gives you a taste for the “real Africa,” getting you face to face with both nature’s greatest predators and prey and some of the most astounding sights you’ll lay your eyes on, ones that you’ll definitely tell the grandkids about, that’s for sure.

Zambia is blessed with copious, sublime natural wonders, whether it’s the thronging wildlife in the North Luangwa National Park, the majesty of Victoria falls (one of the seven natural wonders of the world), the vast, rugged open spaces, or the dominant Zambezi River. You’ll find your jaw dropping time and again…and again.

The majority of Southern Africa has a similar climate so the seasons are the same across the different countries

May-Sept is the country’s dry season with warm days and cool nights. It’s a great time for game viewing and safari. It hots up significantly in October and November and it can become extremely hot and humid, although it’s hot, it’s a great time to go on safari as wildlife gathers around the remaining watering holes.

Dec-April is rainy season and temperatures have cooled down a lot. The rain however, can be pretty brutal so I during this time, tracks in the national parks are closed because it gets too muddy to drive on the roads.

In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.

Top tips for visiting Zambia

Always get a guide – Zambia can be a tricky country to navigate on your own, so I’d always recommend getting a guide. They can inform and help you with loads of things, from crossing borders, to driving, and of course showing you the best parts of any country.
Do your research and plan your itinerary – make sure you know the best times to visit Zambia depending on what you want to see/do – if you want to do some e.g. if you want to do water sports or, if you want to visit during birthing season, always plan accordingly.
Fly in Zambia – fly in to the different locations, it’s a whole lot easier. For example the lower Zambezi National Park is much easier to fly to, as driving can take up to 14 hours!
