The real Africa

Zambia is the home of the walking safari and remains one of the bastions of 'old-fashioned' safaris full of adventure and character. This is the place to visit for those seeking a 'conventional' safari in a remote way. For a true safari connoisseur, Zambia's Lower Zambezi, South Luangwa Kafue and Liuwa Plains National Parks are a must.

## The home of the walking safari.

Zambia remains one of the most uncommercial safari destinations in Africa, with the highest proportion of smaller family-run lodges. Famous for its walking and night safaris, this landlocked country is quickly becoming the top destination for the safari purist.

Zambia’s most famous safari destinations are located in the Luangwa Valley, across the Lower Zambezi and in the Kafue in the west. Visiting the country also offers an opportunity to see one of the world's natural wonders, the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls.

## Country profile

The ever popular night safari gives visitors the opportunity to see leopards and other big cats on the hunt, as well as some of the more elusive nocturnal animals such as pangolin and porcupine.

Quickly becoming known as Africa’s most exciting safari destination, Zambia appeals to the more adventurous traveller. The walking safaris offered by many lodges offer a different perspective on the bush and can include tracking and approaching many animals that you would traditionally view from a vehicle.

## Time your visit with Zambia's seasons

Zambia follows the typical season pattern of Southern Africa with lovely long dry weather over the winter months between June and October. The rains in Zambia are often quite substantial and mean that many camps do close between mid-November and March.

Just before and just after the rains there are wonderful shoulder seasons which offer great game viewing at discounted prices.

While many camps do close in November there are a number of areas that actually come into their own over the summer months, including the Liuwa Plain which witnesses a fascinating wildebeest migration.

## When to go

For guests wishing to spend time in Livingstone and Victoria Falls, the climate is the same as the majority of the country. However, to see the falls at their peak, you would want to visit between May and August. In March and April the waterfall can be flowing with so much power that you might not be able to actually see a huge amount! While in October the falls tend to only flow at a trickle.
