True Africa Presents
Zambia, a hidden gem in Southern Africa, invites travellers to experience its natural landscapes and thrilling wildlife adventures. The country’s crown jewel, the majestic Victoria Falls, known locally as “The Smoke that Thunders”, reaches its most awe-inspiring power during the rainy season, offering daring dips in the Devil’s Pool or breathtaking helicopter flight for a bird’s-eye view. Zambia is also renowned for its exceptional safari experiences, with South Luangwa National Park celebrated for its premier walking safaris that provide intimate encounters with the Big Five. Lower Zambezi National Park offers unique river-based activities such as canoeing and boat safaris, allowing for an up-close view of elephants and hippos along the Zambezi River. With the dry season being ideal for game viewing as animals gather around the remaining water sources, Zambia presents a year-round, authentic African adventure for nature and wildlife enthusiasts.
Zambia is without doubt one of the more seasonal safari destinations within Africa, with large parts of the country inaccessible during the summer rains, although some camps do remain open. The “shoulder” seasons of April-June and November offer some of the best value safaris anywhere in Africa with amazing wildlife sightings on offer, whilst the peak season is as good as anywhere that the continent has to offer.
