Zambia is the home of walking safaris and is widely considered the best place in the world to experience this exhilarating form of wildlife engagement. Unlike conventional game drives in vehicles, walking safaris offer a closer and more personal engagement with the bush on foot, accompanied by an armed ranger and a skilled guide. Walking safaris provide the thrill of tracking animals, learning more about plant life and offers a deeper appreciation of the rich diversity of a wild space. South Luangwa National Park is famous for its walking safaris, and visitors can expect to experience the majesty of big cats, including lions and leopards, at close quarters. There’s also a good chance of glimpsing elephants or herds of antelopes, grazing and minding their own business, as you pass by.
The Zambezi River, which acts as a boundary between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is renowned for its excellent opportunities for white water rafting. The Zambezi is one of the wettest and most waterbound rivers in Africa, and it has earned an international reputation for its challenging rapids and awe-inspiring gorges, as well as its abundant wildlife, including families of hippos that live along its banks and graze among the lush tropical forests. Several companies offer rafting trips down the Zambezi for adventurous tourists who are drawn to this opportunity to take on Africa’s most challenging rapids below Victoria Falls. The rafting below the Falls has Grade 5 rapids (the highest graded rapids run commercially). White water rafting down the Zambezi is a spectacular experience.
Lake Kariba, which straddles the borders between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the world’s great fishing grounds: a huge man-made lake in which more than 40 species of fish swim around, including the notorious tiger fish, the bravest and acrobatic fish anywhere. Guided fishing tours take place from houseboats and lakeside lodges, where holidaymakers can spend their days reeling in the tigers.
The dry season from May to October is the best time to see wildlife in Zambia since the animals congregate around the few remaining water holes. The peak season is from August to October, when the levels of the Luangwa River are lowest, making it possible to see most wildlife moving to or from the water. Zambia has an average of 1,020mm of rainfall a year, which falls between November and April.
Zambia has a great variety of wildlife much more than one could possibly think of. The country has big herds of elephants, hippos and crocodiles. Animals like lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and several species of antelopes can be viewed when one visits Zambia. Birdwatchers also consider Zambia a place to be as there are over 750 birds recorded there. The Kasanka National Park hosts the world’s largest mammal migration consisting of ten million fruit bats.
Zambia has some superb safari country. South Luangwa National Park, where the leopard population is high, and walking safaris, are not to be missed. Lower Zambezi National Park, following the Zambezi river, offers excellent game viewing and water-based activities. Kafue National Park is the largest national park in the country. It has diverse wildlife and exceptional landscapes. Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Zambia has 20 national parks in total, covering 8 per cent of its land area.
There are a variety of activities you can do with us at Zambia Safaris. Game drives in a 4 × 4 open vehicle are a great way of exploring the parks and reserves. There is nothing like walking in the bush for hours to get completely immersed in the experience and to learn about the bush. You can also go on river cruises or canoe and get a fascinating perspective of the wildlife. You can also go fishing, visit villages or catch streams on a project trip, and helicopter ride over the Victoria Falls.
