Zambia is well known for excellent guiding and top-class walking safaris.

...while some bushcamps in the South Luangwa exclusively offer walking safaris.

There's always plenty of time in between activities to relax with a drink...

...and watch the local wildlife!

From the smaller animals...

...to the biggest - there's a huge amount of game to be viewed in the different parks.

...you can find more luxurious lodges here as well...

...and every camp goes the extra mile to provide special touches to your safari.

"My May 2023 trip"

I visited Zambia between 26 May 2023 and 8 Jun 2023
"This was the trip of a life time. Once we got to Lusaka everything went like clockwork. All the transfers and people meeting us at the airport was so helpful, all the drivers were friendly and informative about their community. We were not expecting the level of service we received all the way through, we are now spoiled for future trips. As our usual trip planner it was a great relief for me.

In hindsight I think going to 2 camps might have been better, but don't know what/which we would exclude. We definitely would have enjoyed more time at Flat Dogs. I think we saw more at Flat Dogs and Anabezi. I think this is because there were more guides driving around so more eyes looking and as we passed another vehicle they would relay information (or radio). At Tafika, we were the only vehicle in the camp so sightings were a little haphazard.

We were impressed with the amount of knowledge all three of our guide possessed. They knew about birds, mammals, vegetation, insects, tracking...and could relate facts on sight! They were also good at tailoring our drives to what we wanted, as the trip went on we no longer wanted to stop at every zebra or elephant sighting, but were looking for predators and hoping to see a kill. We never saw a kill but saw a leopard and lionesses attempt kills. We watched the wild dogs two nights in a row waiting for them to hunt but only saw them sleep and scratch!

The beauty of the land, the morning sky and night sky are indelibly etched in my mind (and in photos). I'm glad we went to the Lower Zambezi park because the landscape was just a little different, the mountains around the park are so pretty and make a beautiful backdrop. When they get the black rhino reintroduced to the Lower Zambezi, I'd love to go back!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Back in Zambia again !"

I visited Zambia between 29 Apr 2023 and 11 May 2023
"I was most impressed by the organisation which was seamless.

Being 85 and a lone traveller I was a little apprehensive as to how I would stand up to it all, but the staff were without exception caring and supportive without overdoing it.

One word of caution - the flight on Emirates was long and taxing and the airport at Dubai was a monster!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Nkwali in March"

I visited Zambia between 18 Mar 2023 and 27 Mar 2023
"I really enjoy Luangwa at this time of year as the wild dog sightings are consistently excellent, the scenery is stunning and such a contrast to dry season, and the birding is great.

It's also very relaxing just spending a whole week at one camp. See my Nkwali review for more info!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"South Luangwa 22 Oct to 12 Nov 2022"

I visited Zambia between 22 Oct 2022 and 12 Nov 2022
"It’s not the first time we have visited Mfuwe Lodge and the bush camps, and will not be our last! As always, all the staff were efficient and friendly, and the guiding was exceptional. It was great to see that people living and working in that environment all the time are still so passionate about the wildlife around them. The available activities of game drives and walks in the bush camps was a good combination.

With all wildlife you can never guarantee what you will see, and it is very much dependent on time of year and weather conditions. Overall, we had an abundant and excellent wildlife experience to make for a really great safari, and one we will never forget! In particular the numerous sightings of leopard, a tiny lion cub being carried out of the bush by its mother, and a pack of 31 wild dogs! I could go on, but there is too much to mention!!

This trip was a long time coming – originally booked pre-pandemic for travel in November 2022 – it was so good to get back to the bush!

We would like to thank both Expert Africa and The Bushcamp Company for happily deferring our trip not just once, but twice, through the pandemic, and the changes to the itineraries it involved. And also, to Chris from Expert Africa, for taking time out to reply to me whilst he was on holiday, to reassure us everything was covered should another outbreak/variant occur. This allowed us to relax a bit more and look forward to a return to Africa after a 3-year absence!" Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 19 on a Zambia safari

"Nothing could have been better.

We knew how good Megan was from previous bookings so we fully expected another perfect trip.

That is exactly what we got. Already planning the next one. Thank you to you all.

None at all. Why change perfection?" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
