Zambia

Set off on a spectacular ‘off the beaten track’ adventure through Zambia’s remarkable and untamed wildernesses.

Bordering Botswana, this lesser visited, landlocked African country is a real gem of a destination. Referred to as ‘the smoke that thunders’, the mighty Victoria Falls weaves and carves its way through dramatic gorges and forest clad cliffs. Experience the exhilarating spray with a walk along Knife Edge Bridge, admire the panoramic views from a private helicopter, or raft along its rapids to really get the adrenaline pumping.

Beyond the falls, the unfenced safari camps of Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa National Park provide the perfect base to explore the unspoilt surroundings, home to an astounding concentration of wildlife from elephant and buffalo and lion and hippo. While, along the waters of the Zambezi River, a magical sunset cruise will reward you with unforgettable views of birds circling the African skies.
