A fantastic taster of different landscapes and activities - excellent chances of seeing a range of wildlife. Well organised, fab pre-trip info and assistance despite a last minute booking, and really friendly and professional guides.

Its 5.45am in South Luangwa National Park. In the copper-grey half dawn we gather around a still smouldering camp fire and prepare for the ultimate bush experience – a walking safari in which we can expect to track and see South Luangwa’s heavy brigade of elephant, buffalo, hippo and possibly even lion. Without a qualified guide to escort us we’d not be troubling the caterers for lunch. Ten years ago 80% of safari guides in the valley were white. Now 80% are Zambian and Daudi Njobvu explains what to do if we come across a four legged juggernaut having a bad day. Read more about Zambia safaris in this Zambia article.
