Discover untamed Africa with a Zambia Safari
If you’re searching for the real Africa—raw, remote, and wildly beautiful—Zambia delivers it in unforgettable ways. Often called the birthplace of the walking safari, Zambia is a destination for true explorers: those who crave the thrill of close-up wildlife encounters, the rhythm of nature beneath their feet, and the magic of landscapes untouched by mass tourism.
Zambia’s vast national parks are best reached by light aircraft, offering breathtaking views of lush plateaus, meandering rivers, and dramatic escarpments below. From the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls—the legendary ‘Smoke That Thunders’—to the shimmering waters of Lake Kariba, home to hippos, crocodiles, and elephant herds, this is a land that stirs the senses.
Here, luxury takes a back seat to authenticity. Our Zambia safari packages are crafted for those who value experience over excess—walking through South Luangwa National Park with expert guides or exploring the Lower Zambezi River where wildlife thrives on every bank.
With one of the lowest population-to-land ratios in Africa, Zambia feels untouched, unspoiled, and entirely yours. Whether you’re a first-time safari-goer or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, Zambia promises an intimate and exhilarating journey into Africa’s wild heart.

Posted on Sayak Ghosh17 January 2026Verified A well curated vacation into Kenya Gamewatchers are to be commended for their professionalism and attention to details. I travelled with my mother to Kenya, it was the first trip to Africa for the both of us, and Gamewatchers took very good care of us. The local point of contact in India, Mr. Chandra, was wonderful and helped us throughout. No request was turned down. The whole trip was curated as per our liking. I would definitely recommend Gamewatchers.Posted on Eric A16 January 2026Verified Always fantastic...third time customer not finished yet. I have used Gamewatchers for my Kenyan safaris three times now and can not see any reason to use anyone else. My experience with them has always been excellent. The experience of staying in tented camps really allows one to become emersed in the land and wildlife of Kenya. Always a special time when I'm in the Porini Camps of Gamewatchers.Posted on Christine M12 January 2026Verified Amazing safari We had an exceptional holiday. Seen huge amounts of animals, with very knowledgible guides answering all our questions. Staff were wonderful, meals great. Loved every minute. Want to go againPosted on nicolelK9025UD11 January 2026Verified Best Safari Experience Planning this trip was very easy with the help of my advisor, Rachel. She was the best. Super friendly, always quick to answer all of my questions and concerns. I really wanted an eco-friendly camp, who gives back to the local community and limits the number of tours and people that have access to the area. This delivered in all areas. Camps were beautiful, staff were amazing, safaris were incredible. We loved every minute. I've thought of nothing else since my return. I miss it every day and can't wait until I return.Posted on Sherry H11 January 2026Verified Highly Recommended! I would definitely go with Gamewatchers again on my next trip to Africa! Everyone did a great job and we're very kind to us.Posted on Luis11 January 2026Verified Excellent We live in Kenya and have experienced many safaris over the years, and Porini Cheetah Camp remains among the very best. We are repeat guests.What sets it apart is the privacy, the warm, personal welcome from the hosts, and the exceptional quality of the game drives. The conservancy setting allows for uncrowded, respectful wildlife viewing, and the lodge is particularly ideal for lion sightings.Posted on Curious2689802063611 January 2026Verified Perfect African safari adventure A perfect combination of luxury tented camps, experienced and friendly staff and guides, extraordinary animal sightings. All in the most beautiful and dramatic settings. A truly amazing African safari experience.Posted on Doria R4 January 2026Verified Great Solo experience Amazing all amazing seen many animals and i love the tented accommodations. The food was also very good they give you so much food lol. I loved rhino and mara camp the most. Giraffe did not see the animals I wanted to maybe was just off time but the rhino camp and mara amazing the mangers at all the camps treated me very well im going back to other camps next nov and i can't wait to see Craig the super tusker ;-) he's 54 so i need see him my fav are the Elephants so amboseli is known for that. I love porini camps great food and g n ts at sundown was all nice.Posted on Ak J4 December 2025Verified Top drawer service and personalised safari. We had the pleasure of using game watchers to book our safari at Porini Cheetah Camp which was exceptional. However what was also exceptional was the service we received from Wayne in the gamewatchers team. Thorough, quick and responsive to our needs and sorted everything from the room, flights and transfers seamlessly.I would highly recommend using game watchers to anyone that wants eco friendly, ethical and personalised safaris.Posted on Robert S25 November 2025Verified Great Experience Wayne Hammond and the Gamewatchers team organized and delivered a wonderful safari for our family. Wayne was responsive and gave great advice leading up to the trip and the team on the ground was first rate. It is hard to find the right company to narrow in on the right price and pacing -- they did it very well. Rob

Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!Â
