Zambia became my favourite African country
We traveled through East Africa and reached Zambia at the end of our trip,. I didn’t know much about this country, read a bit and checked the level of safety for travellers. I fell in love with Zambia, a very safe destination, apart from Lusaka where there is not much to do from a tourist point of view the parks are amazing, the Lower Zambezi National park became the highlight, Kafue the same. Very easy to use public transport, very affordable in comparison to Botswana and Zimbabwe. We will be back to explore more.

Experience the trie wildness of Africa
Although a rough time for Zambia due to the drought and rolling blackouts in Lusaka we did fine. The nicer restaurants and malls had generators.
Mufue Lodge the Safari camp we went to was amazing. Staff and service incredible as well as amazing wildlife sittings all over. We especially appreciated the work that both lodges we went to do for their respective communities. People are peaceful and respectful and seem happy you are there. As with many growing nations their internal political processes are hard to understand from an American standpoint.
The highlights were the two safaris we went on and we’re not disappointed with anything

nice people nice scenic and wildlife
We travelled with Zamsato and everything was well organised.
The river safaris on the Zambezi are spectacular as well as the canoe trips.
The game drives on the lower Zambezi are a bit long but with lush vegetation.
The connection to South Luangwa was very well organised by plane and airplane.
game drive safaris and walking safaris in luangwa very good with less people than in other countries.
The lodges are generally very good with international cuisine and very friendly staff.

Relaxing destination providing the opportunity to be thrilled by wildlife
Zambian people are very friendly and polite with general living standards above the African average, helping the tourist feel relaxed and safe.
Victoria waterfalls are truly a great wonder of nature and the various natural parks offer wildlife encounters depending on the season and location.

Under rated.
We booked to a part of Zambia that we were not familiar with. South Lawanga, not hard to get to but not all that easy, which made it perfect for us. We did not want the over touristing that can occur in some parks. The Thornicroft Lodge was perfect. Very comfortable, food was exceptional and the expert management was reflected in the entire experience. Game drives were always fun, and sometimes quite exciting. Due to the lower volume, animal sightings were often not overrun with other vehicles, and the game was quite plentiful. One person who insured our trip exceeded expectations was Elina Phiri, who manages the lodge. She insured that all went smoothly, from game drives to making sure we were where we supposed to be on time. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone.

Wild and natural- an untamed destination
Enjoyed my safari to south luangwe national park and the booking went really smoothly. Your company, Ntanda tours, who offered the itinerary and safari bookings were really communicative and I got fast and helpful responses. Would use safari bookings again to find possible tours and itineraries.

Fortunately not too popular yet. We were two of very few tourists in amazing and beautiful places.
We went during the green season, at the end of the rainy season. Lovely weather, very few tourists, a lot of wildlife easy to spot if you are with an experienced guide. Unfortunately some roads were still flooded and closed, but it didnt impact hugely our plans. We visited Kafue National Park (highly recommend Nanzhila Lodge) and Livingstone. It was perfect!

Wonderful Zambia
Zambia is a country that I had not ventured but perhaps I was saving it to understand it’s beauty after having visited many of the more frequented African countries.
The Zambezi River is a phenomenal place to get close to wildlife via canoe or motorboat. Watching a family of elephants swim across the river was special as was experiencing hippos so close. Don’t leave Zambia off your bucket list-you will be sorry!!
