Zambia is where authentic wilderness meets refined safari elegance. With its remote national parks, majestic rivers, and awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, the country offers immersive, uncrowded experiences in some of Africa’s last truly wild places. Think candlelit riverfront lodges, walking safaris, and sunset cruises teeming with wildlife.
By Air
International travelers typically fly into:
By Land
Zambia shares overland borders with Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Tanzania, and the DRC. Overland access is common for combination itineraries with Victoria Falls, Botswana, or Malawi.
Charter Flights
Light aircraft charters connect guests seamlessly between parks, remote lodges, and cities.
Visas
Visas are available on arrival or via e-visa for most nationalities. Double-check requirements before departure.
Turquoise waters & barefoot luxury
Riverfront luxury & canoe safaris
Vast wilderness & intimate lodges
Iconic waterfall & adventure hub
Off-grid exploration & seasonal wildlife migrations
Zambia invites travellers to slow down, tune in, and truly connect with Africa. This is where conservation-driven tourism thrives—led by expert guides and deeply rooted in community. Whether gliding past hippos on the Zambezi, tracking big cats in South Luangwa, or witnessing the thunder of Victoria Falls, Zambia offers meaningful luxury in nature’s purest form.
Dry Season (May–October): Ideal for game viewing as wildlife gathers around water sources.
Emerald Season (November–April): Lush scenery and excellent birding. Some camps close due to rains.
Victoria Falls Peak Flow: February–May; most dramatic water levels.
Zambia’s seasonality shapes the
experience. Visiting during the dry season offers concentrated wildlife sightings, while the Emerald Season provides stunning green landscapes, fewer crowds, and vital support for communities and conservation.
Zambia is a leader in low-impact tourism. By travelling with awareness—respecting local communities, conserving water, and supporting eco-conscious lodges—you help protect the wild spaces that make Zambia so extraordinary.
Zambia offers some of Southern Africa’s most exhilarating day excursions—from soaring above Victoria Falls in a helicopter to white-knuckle rafting on the Zambezi. Whether your clients crave high-adrenaline adventures like bungee jumping and gorge swings, or prefer more tranquil moments aboard a sunset river cruise, Zambia delivers unforgettable experiences framed by spectacular scenery and warm hospitality.
Many tours depart from Livingstone, the gateway to the Falls, and showcase the raw beauty, vibrant culture, and wild heart of Zambia. Guests can marvel at the Falls from Livingstone Island, sip sundowners on the African Queen, or venture across the border into Chobe for Big Five game viewing by boat and 4×4. For those seeking something truly extraordinary, Zambia’s day tours offer a front-row seat to Africa’s power, pulse, and poetry.
