Zambia is home to the spectacular Victoria Falls which can be seen in all its
splendor during the highest flows from May to June. During October to
December the flow is at its lowest, allowing you closer photographic access.
Livingstone and the area around the Falls offers a variety of attractions
throughout the year (see page 46 for hotels in Livingstone and page 47 for
hotels in Victoria Falls Town, Zimbabwe).
Zambia also boasts some of the most abundant wildlife in Africa which can
be viewed on traditional game drives or by walking safaris in South Luangwa,
or by water-based activities on the Lower Zambezi River. The prime wildlife
regions are mostly concentrated around the Luangwa, Kafue and Zambezi
rivers which provide rich grassy habitats for a variety of animals.
Our featured safaris operate mostly in the drier months from May to October,
allowing access to the more remote corners of Zambia’s National Parks. Whilst
South Luangwa, the country’s premier game viewing destination, has camps
that are open year round, it is the remote bush camps open in these drier
months, that have earned this Park a reputation as one of Africa’s finest
wilderness areas. The Lower Zambezi and the Kafue National Parks also have
a number of small and very personalized camps offering some spectacular
game viewing.
Travel during the wetter months from November to March is still possible and
we can suggest some alternative itineraries that tend to combine vehicle
safaris with boating rather than walking.
