Search for wildlife in the Serengeti National Park, Mikumi National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. Unwind on the tropical beaches of Zanzibar, see snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro and swim in Lake Malawi. Round it off with a free day to discover Victoria Falls how you see fit - by boat, on foot, or from the air!Overlanding Adventures21The serengeti and ngorongoro crater were amazing with so many animals to see I had trouble getting my kenya eta's. I contacted you and was told that you don't do visas. You should have put me in contact with Acacia to see if they could help. I needed a contact in Kenya. I had to pay twice to get it. Also, the days were very long and the roads in Malawi were horrendous.

Not keen on Zeldas camp, no soap in the shower / toilet block. 4 stars for accommodation only because of Zeldas

Also, Pete and Francis were the Best! Stone Town, really nothing to see and would have preferred to go directly to the beach. Also, you need to add Cheetahs Rock in Zanzibar as a side tour. I did and it was the second highlight of my trip. I would also skip Malawi and fly from Dar es Salaam to Lusaka.

Zambia safaris at a glance
Trip and guiding style
Safaris in Zambia run as fully guided group trips, with a tour leader and crew supporting the group from start to finish. Transport and day to day logistics are arranged in advance, so time is used well between each stop. Many itineraries also include extra African countries as part of a longer overland route.
Accommodation
Accommodation standards vary by itinerary and can include camping and simple accommodation, particularly on overland trips. Some routes mix styles, such as Camping & simple hotels or Simple accommodation & 2 nights camping, depending on the design of the trip. If needed, places of a similar standard may be used, and standards can differ between regions in Zambia.
Trip pacing
Trip pace is often medium, with early starts for wildlife viewing as well as longer drive days between key locations. Most days balance planned activities with time to recharge, especially around Livingstone where you may have optional experiences. Fitness needs are usually moderate, although timings and inclusions can vary by itinerary.

What you'll see in Zambia
Falls viewpoints, river scenes and standout safari areas across Zambia
Zambia safaris often begin in Livingstone, with time set aside for Victoria Falls in Mosi Oa Tunya National Park. It is a standout stop for panoramic viewpoints and close up spray, and the constant roar tends to stay with you long after you leave. With the Zambezi River nearby, there is usually room for quieter moments between planned activities, and Livingstone makes a convenient base before heading inland. Overland itineraries may then route through Lusaka for a brief sense of the capital, before turning towards prime safari territory. South Luangwa National Park is a major draw, with game drives designed to spot wildlife across bush tracks and river corridors. Along the way, Zambia often feels like more than a single headline sight, because you also experience long road days, small towns, and the landscape gradually opening out as you travel.

Why visit Zambia
Big nature, famous falls and strong wildlife viewing, with guided support
Zambia is a strong choice for safaris that combine a world famous natural spectacle with rewarding wildlife time. Livingstone sits on the Zambezi River and works as a practical base; many itineraries include Victoria Falls in Mosi Oa Tunya National Park as a highlight early in the journey. The sound, spray and shifting viewpoints make a memorable introduction, and it sets the tone for what follows. After the falls, overland routes typically push further inland, linking centres such as Lusaka with South Luangwa National Park. Here, game drives focus on tracking wildlife across riverbanks, woodland and open stretches, in one of Zambia’s most celebrated safari areas. If you prefer a structured approach, these trips suit you well, because a tour leader and crew manage the daily running order. That support matters on longer routes, where borders, driving distances and park time need to align, and many itineraries continue into multi country travel while still keeping meaningful time in Zambia.
