Zambia
Walking safaris in the South Luangwa
Zambia — walking safaris in South Luangwa and the thunder of Victoria Falls.
The safari country for purists. Zambia invented the walking safari, and South Luangwa is where it is still best done. Time + Tide Chinzombo and the small bushcamps for the experience, Tongabezi for a Victoria Falls finish.
An ideal pairing with Botswana, or a quieter alternative to Kenya and Tanzania.
A year in Zambia
Peak walking safari season, perfect game viewing.
Victoria Falls at peak flow — spectacular and wet.
