Zambia
Zambia is one of Africa's finest and most authentic safari destinations, home to Victoria Falls, the legendary Luangwa Valley, the vast Kafue National Park and the remarkable Liuwa Plain. Known for outstanding walking safaris, authentic bush camps and a wilderness experience that prioritises quality over volume, Zambia represents some of the finest safari travel available in Africa.
Elect's take
"Zambia offers a quality of wilderness and safari experience that I rate among the very best in Africa. The walking safari tradition here is unmatched and the sense of being genuinely remote in extraordinary landscape is something increasingly rare."
The South Luangwa National Park is Zambia's crown jewel and one of Africa's finest wildlife areas, widely credited as the birthplace of the walking safari. Victoria Falls shared with Zimbabwe is simply one of the most dramatic natural spectacles on Earth. The width and volume of the falls and the noise and mist that surround them create an experience that exceeds all expectations. Zambia's side of the falls from Livingstone provides a genuine local town atmosphere.
