What makes Zambia’s game viewing so good? Most of the country is situated on an elevated plateau with vast woodlands and river valleys, which transition to mountains in the north east. Water from the Zambezi and Congo rivers act as a huge drainage basin, thus ensuring extensive wetlands and floodplains are home to staggering biodiversity in plants, mammals and birds.
The luxury reserves and lodges in Zambia are some of Southern Africa’s best (like this one) and are well worth a splurge for their unbeatable locations and staff who spoil their guests rotten. Most are at least half the price of similar offerings you’ll find in neighbouring Botswana, but just as good for game viewing and unique wilderness experiences.

In Zambia, you don’t have to be in a fenced area to see the full roster of endemic wildlife. In fact, most of the national parks and accommodation options are unfenced, leaving elephants, hippos, lions and giraffes free to roam. Moreover, notoriously shy leopards are a common sighting in parks such as South Luangwa.
. . . .
Among wildlife buffs, Zambia is celebrated for its guided bush walks – and the extensive tracking knowledge of local guides. Many grew up in close proximity to wildlife and are adept at helping guests navigate the parks safely on foot.
. . . .
And when in Zambia, of course, a visit to the might Victoria Falls (and Devil’s Pools) is not to be missed. Not only that, but there are plenty of adrenaline-inducing activities to keep you busy in Livingstone (or just across the border in Zimbabwe) such as white-water rafting through the Batoka Gorge, bungee jumping or gorge swinging, horseback trails, tandem kayaking or microlight/helicopter flights over the falls.
. . . .
With some 70 ethnic groups (and just as many languages), Zambia is one of sub-Saharan Africa's most highly-urbanised countries. Nearly half of its population of 13.5 million lives in the capital (Lusaka is one of the continent’s fastest-growing cities) or other “copper belt” towns.
There are modern hotels and restaurants to relax and refuel, whether you’re on a business trip or travelling for leisure. And most South Africans won’t have a difficult time expressing themselves, as English is the official language. African languages of Nyanja and Bemba are also commonly spoken by locals.
