Zambia is a prime safari destination home to a number of game-rich national parks, the mighty Zambezi River, the famous Victoria Falls, and the bustling bewitching and vibrant capital of Livingstone. Zambia deserves a bit of time in the spotlight, given that the country is often overlooked in favour of neighbouring safari destinations. Zambia is a diamond in the rough – a developing country rich with heart and soul. It’s wild, exceptionally beautiful and contains a bounty of sublime safari lodges designed specifically to take advantage of their surrounds.
Below is a list of our 5 luxury safari lodges in Zambia.
