Safari Scapes | Zambia

The Victoria Falls (mosi o tunya or “the smoke that thunders”) is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and is a definite highlight of Zambia, as is the wild Zambezi River with its abundant wildlife and adventurous activities like river-rafting and bungee-jumping.

This is also the land of the legendary African walking safari, where you’ll encounter abundant wildlife that’s incredibly diverse, including tree-climbing lions and amazing birding opportunities.

Besides all you’ll see, you’ll also experience the warmth of a welcoming and friendly people – not to mention wonderfully warm temperatures.

Toka Leya contains twelve spaciously appointed luxury safari tents, each with expansive views of the Zambezi River beyond. Located atop the banks of the Upper Zambezi River, guests can enjoy easy – and complimentary – access to Victoria Falls. Choose from the wealth of river-based activities on offer, from white water rafting to afternoon river cruises and fishing expeditions. Because the lodge is in the Mosi o Tunya National Park, game viewing is plentiful all year round.

Zambia’s oldest and most iconic hotel, the Royal Livingstone, is the epitome of old-world elegance from a bygone era. Situated just a short five kilometre drive from Victoria Falls town, the hotel is so close to the falls that you’ll be able to hear and see the water spray while sitting outside enjoying your evening drink after a satisfying day’s game viewing.

Located on the Luangwa River in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, this premium camp is located in open flood plains. Because of this, it offers excellent Big Five game viewing, predator sightings and bird watching opportunities. It’s completely remote, so you’ll catch a boat across the river to get to the camp, making an already exclusive experience just that much more special.

Located on a flood plain in the Kafue National Park, Shumba is only available for six months of the year between June and October when the flood plains dry out. This makes it a highly exclusive camp with a truly dynamic surrounding landscape. Drink in the wide-open spaces and enjoy rare animal interactions including a huge population of tree climbing lions. For something truly unique, take a hot air balloon ride to appreciate the vast grassland from above.
