Why Zambia?

With so many places in Africa to visit, why choose a safari vacation in Zambia?

Let us show you why this country is fast becoming the number one choice for a safari adventure.  Zambia, "the Real Africa", is regarded by many as the continent's greatest secret, ranging from the mighty Victoria Falls to the world renowned National Parks of the Luangwa and Zambezi valleys. The fact that the country has, for so long, been largely overlooked as a tourist destination is one of its greatest assets. The wilderness areas are pristine and the country offers its guests views of the African bush that have not changed for centuries.

The opportunity to explore these areas and to view the wildlife that inhabits them without having to share the experience with others is something very special that is hard to find in many parts of Africa these days.

It is often said that from a vehicle you can see Africa but when on foot you experience Africa.  Not only is Zambia and the South Luangwa the home of the walking safari, but Norman Carr was the pioneer of this, the ultimate way to experience your safari adventure.

Every visitor to Zambia will leave with memories of the friendly welcome they received.  The country is geographically large so the people are from different tribes and speak many different languages but the official language is English and the overriding attitude is one of great happiness and friendliness.

In the pages that follow we will give you information about the country, its inhabitants, its economy, where to go and when the best time of year to enjoy your safari vacation in Zambia.  We are Zambian experts so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions that are not covered by this site.

Remember, a safari is an adventure and Zambia is waiting to reveal its secrets to you.
