Africa's best-kept secret, Zambia is known for its pristine natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and unrivalled access to the iconic Victoria Falls.
Known for its walking safaris, Zambia is characterised by its diverse wildernesses of lush forests, enchanting valleys, vast plains, and placid lakes, each home to a multitude of exotic wildlife and big game. On a luxury Zambia holiday, it is here that travellers can experience the majesty of the Victoria Falls - one of the largest waterfalls in the world - whether that be through white water rafting on the Zambezi River, the luxury of a private helicopter, or soaking in the cool water of Devil's Pool, a deep natural rock pool situated on the edge of the falls.
For those looking to avoid the crowds and discover untouched terrains, visit Kafue National Park, one of the largest national parks on the African continent. The Park offers excellent sightings of lions, giraffes, leopards, zebras, and most notably, cheetahs, and is home to more than 480 bird species. Travellers seeking a more intimate safari experience can visit the South Luangwa National Park, a leading destination for walking safaris; with a number of 5-star luxury camps, travellers to the region can roam alongside over 60 species of mammals on all-encompassing, expert-led tours through the valley.
Enjoy a river cruise or a canoe ride down the Zambezi River, undoubtedly the best way to explore the remote Lower Zambezi National Park. View vast herds of elephants and Cape buffaloes that fringe the river banks, and encounter bloats of hippos and Nile crocodiles along the route. Travel south and visit the historic town of Livingstone, situated on the Zimbabwe border, offering one of the most accessible routes to the famous Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
From secluded stays in lush savannahs to romantic hand-picked hotels in Livingstone (the gateway to Victoria Falls), our luxury Zambia holidays are tailor-made to suit you. Our experienced Africa specialists are on hand to personally design your dream trip and answer any questions you may have, whether you're looking for secluded luxury lodges, unique walking safaris, or river cruises on the Zambezi River. Speak to us about your luxury Zambia honeymoon, or child-friendly safari lodges for a luxury family holiday.

The best time to visit Zambia is during the dry season between June and November, ideal for walking safaris and wildlife sightings. To see Victoria Falls flowing at its greatest volume, visit between April and June after the rainy season; this is the best time for a helicopter flight over the falls. For white water rafting and access to Devil's Pool, visit between September to November when the water levels are lower.
