Zambia camping safari

Planet

We are acutely aware of the economic, ecological and ethical impact tourism should have on indigenous communities and fragile environments.

We visit a number of parks throughout the trip. Seeing the animals first hand in their indigeniuous environment provide a powerful insight into the benefits of conservation, we hope our clients will be inspired to be supportive of such activities in the future. The money paid to visit these areas in the form of Paerk fees directly goes on conserving the wildlife and providing employment for the local guides and scouts.

One of the parks we visit visit Kasanka National Park., one of Zambia’s smallest parks. There are no huge herds here, but this beautiful park protects some rare species, such as Pel’s fishing owl and even rarer blue monkey. The park is unusual because it’s under private management and entirely reliant on tourist revenue. It’s a valuable conservation area with diverse flora and fauna including many endangered species and exceptional birdlife. Elephants, hippos and buffalos are all present and the park is ideal for what must be the most energy sensitive way of traveling - walking safaris. Our game drive and walking safari offer clients the chance to learn about some fascinating species, like elephants, warthog, waterbuck, impala, Kudu from local experts.

The accomodation that we use uses solar power for the lodge - this generates enough power for the lights and fans.

When we visit in North Luangwa Zambia, only open to the public recently, you will see that there are no permanent lodges allowed here. Buffalo Camp is a seasonal bush camp which opens at the beginning of June and closes at the end of October. The camp is rebuilt and taken down each year ensuring minimum impact on the environment.

At home, our office also supports the need to reduce, reuse and recycle. We operate from an eco sensitive building. We encourage our workers to travel as environmentally sensitively as possible either by car share, bus or bicycle.
