Northern Zambia: Safaris
Safari Holidays to Northern Zambia
Safari holidays in Northern Zambia attract ‘Old Africa Hands’ who come for the area’s remote and often magical places– which are seldom included in more conventional Zambia safaris.
Our trips here typically focus on Kasanka National Park, the Bangweulu Wetlands and Shiwa Ng’andu – and are usually best undertaken during the dry season, from about May to October. Having said that, for the best chance of close shoebill sightings in Bangweulu, consider a safari holiday earlier in the year, between about January and April.
