The guide
Zambia is where the walking safari was invented, in the South Luangwa in the 1950s, and it remains the country's defining offer. Guiding standards are famously high — Zambian guides train longer and harder than almost anywhere on the continent — and the camps are small enough that a walk is the normal activity rather than a novelty.
It is also the country that shares Victoria Falls with Zimbabwe, which gives most Zambian itineraries a natural bookend and a straightforward link into Botswana or Zimbabwe.
South Luangwa is the home of the walking safari and one of the most concentrated wildlife areas in Africa.
The Lower Zambezi is a river park where canoeing and fishing sit alongside game drives, opposite Zimbabwe's Mana Pools.
The Zambian side of Victoria Falls gives the closest, wettest views, and Livingstone is the town that serves it.
Kafue is one of the largest national parks in Africa and among the least visited for its size.
