Things to Do in Zambia

Zambia offers a variety of experiences to allow you to see both the country and its wildlife in unique, exciting ways. Apart from traditional game drives during both day and night, a safari in Zambia can also consist of walking, canoeing, boating, flying, rafting and more.

Things to do

One of our favorite things to do in Zambia is a walking safari in the South Luangwa. As the home of the walking safari, getting out on foot here is incredible. Safely approaching animals on foot while also learning about the smaller aspects of the bush is something truly special and unique. For those who enjoy getting on the water, try your hand at wrangling a tiger fish or maybe go on a canoe safari on the mighty Zambezi River, slowly floating as elephants cross the river using their trunks as a snorkel. The versatility of experiences here is sure to keep you entertained—you may never want to leave!

Game Drives in the South Luangwa

Game Drives in the South Luangwa

Luangwa Valley, Zambia

Game drives are the most common way of exploring the African bush. A vehicle allows you to cover distance quickly and comfortably and offers visitors the best opportunity of getting very close to wildlife in a safe and controlled way.

Game Viewing in the Lower Zambezi

Night Drives

Night Drives

Luangwa Valley, Zambia

If you get the opportunity to head out after sunset you should take it. The bush transforms under the cover of darkness as the nocturnal wildlife gets going. Using a spotlight your guide will scan the bush for eye-shine picking out some great action.
