Wild safari country with outstanding guiding and walking traditions
Zambia is one of Africa’s great choices for travellers who value guiding, wilderness and a less polished-over safari experience. South Luangwa is synonymous with walking safari, while the Lower Zambezi combines game drives with river-based activities and Kafue offers immense scale.
Camps are often small and seasonal, which helps preserve the feeling of being deep in the bush. Combining two contrasting parks works particularly well, and Victoria Falls can be added at the beginning or end for a change of pace.
Where to explore in Zambia
Our current Zambia collection takes in Victoria Falls, South Luangwa National Park, North Luangwa National Park, Lower Zambezi National Park and Kafue National Park. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.
Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.
Who Zambia suits
Zambia works particularly well for experienced safari travellers, walkers, photographers and couples or families who prefer intimate camps and strong guiding over large-lodge facilities. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.
Planning your stay
Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine Zambia with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
