With expansive national parks, dramatic landscapes, and a high concentration of wildlife, it’s a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. 

The country is home to some of the most renowned parks in Africa, including South Luangwa National Park, Lower Zambezi National Park, and Kafue National Park, each offering unique and thrilling safari opportunities.

Walking Safaris – A Close Encounter With The Wild

Zambia is famous for its opportunities for guided walking safaris, an exhilarating way to experience the bush. Instead of observing wildlife from a vehicle, you’ll have the unique opportunity to explore on foot with our expert guides. 

At Gamewatchers Safaris’s, our experienced rangers and trackers ensure that you remain safe while getting an up-close and personal view of Zambia’s incredible wildlife, from elephants and buffalo to big cats and an array of bird species. Walking through the bush brings a deeper appreciation of the ecosystem, where every footprint, sound, and scent tells a story of survival in the wild.

Exclusive Game Drives – Witness Zambia’s Diverse Wildlife

Whether it’s spotting leopards lounging in tree branches, witnessing a lion hunt at dusk, or watching a herd of elephants crossing the Zambezi River, each drive is a thrilling adventure. Unlike more crowded safari destinations, Zambia’s game drives are exclusive, meaning fewer vehicles and uninterrupted wildlife encounters.

Night Safaris – Experience The Nocturnal World

One of the highlights of a Zambia safari holiday with Gamewatchers Safaris is the opportunity to embark on a night safari. Equipped with specialised spotlights, you can observe the secretive nocturnal creatures that roam the bush after dark.
