Zambia is one of Africa's hidden gems with some of the greatest natural scenery on the continent, with some excellent quality accommodation and several superb National Parks. From walking safaris through the South Luangwa River Park and river rafting down the mighty Zambezi River in Lower Zambezi National Park to warm and friendly people, Zambia has it all.

Zambia is a true African wilderness, with wide open spaces rich in wildlife and with one of the lowest population densities in the world. It has been described as "the Real Africa"…

The country is a blend of gently undulating plateaus of forests, savannah and marshland with many lakes and impressive waterfalls. Visit Victoria Falls, the greatest waterfall of them all on the border with Zimbabwe and the town of Livingstone, the adventure capital of Africa.

For wildlife enthusiasts, the parks are literally teeming with birds and animals. Known as the 'home of the walking safari' nothing can be more exciting than encountering game whilst on foot, with expert guides by your side.

In such a large country distances can be long and many of the roads are poor, so light aircraft is sometimes the quickest way to reach the camps but will also give you a bird's eye view of the countryside on the way.

Your accommodation choices in Zambia range from the plush hotels that overlook Victoria Falls to tented camps and lodges in the country's wildlife regions.

To experience the best of the country, the Gem of Zambia Tour offers a great Zambia safari to the three premier game parks.
