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.

Rachel Chambers
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!.

Hola, I’m Andrea and my love affair with the captivating world of safaris began during my teenage years when I embarked on my very first safari in Kenya.
