On Safari in Zambia

Zambia is still quite undiscovered and under-traveled. Birthplace of the walking safari and home to some of Africa's top naturalist guides, Zambia is the ideal destination for a veteran Africa traveler looking to get off the beaten path and experience game drives, walking safaris, canoe trips and more all in a variety of wilderness areas. Africa Easy loves exploring the wild bush of Zambia's South Luangwa and the waterways of the Lower Zambezi National Parks!


Our Zambia Explorer commences from Johannesburg. Travel on scheduled air to Livingstone to explore the mighty Victoria Falls and surrounding area. Continue on scheduled chartered aircraft to Chiawa Camp, Lower Zambezi National Park. From camp you are treated to excellent game viewing and birding in vehicles and small, motorized boats on the river. A wonderful highlight is the Canoe Trip from the Royal Zambezi Lodge to Mwambashi River Lodge 27 km down river. Accompanied by professional, experienced guides, and surrounded by supreme tranquility you will experience unrivalled game viewing. Fly chartered air along the Zambian Rift Valley to Mfuwe and transfer to Bush Camps near the Luangwa River. Explore the Luangwa either on foot or in open 4x4 vehicles. Charter and scheduled air back to Johannesburg.


LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK is Zambia's newest national park, set along the northwestern bank of the Zambezi River opposite the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. Chiawa Camp is a luxurious lodge inside the park at the junction of the Chiawa and Zambezi Rivers, a real highlight!

SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK - The camps and lodges here run excellent day and night wildlife drives and walking safaris between June and November. The Luangwa River flows all year but gets shallow in the dry season, which exposes vast sandbanks covered by groups of hippopotamus and crocodiles.

VICTORIA FALLS - On the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, 350 feet high and a mile wide, is the largest sheet of falling water on Earth, and the most spectacular of all waterfalls. Over 130 million gallons of water from the mighty Zambezi River plunge down this crevice every minute, shaking the ground and creating a plume of mist that can be seen from 14 miles away.
