Zambia family safari holiday
Description of Zambia family safari holiday
Discover big game favourites such as elephants, giraffes and lions in three of Zambia’s best national parks, followed by riverside relaxation and adrenaline activities at Victoria Falls, the world’s largest waterfall – all on an adventurous Zambia family holiday.
In South Luangwa, you’ll take part in game drives (morning, evening and nighttime) plus walking safaris in one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife-watching destinations. Moving on to Kafue, Zambia’s oldest and largest national park, you can enjoy remote wilderness in this less-visited safari destination. Finally, in Lower Zambezi National Park, you can take your safari experience to the next level with canoe safaris, boat trips, fishing excursions and sunset river cruises.
Your last few days will be spent at the legendary Victoria Falls, where you can enjoy a wide range of family-friendly outdoor activities, from white-water rafting to ziplining to hikes along scenic river walks for amazing views of the thundering cascades.
Your family’s comfort comes first and we’ve selected specifically family-friendly safari lodges and camps, which provide convenience for those travelling with children on top of warm Zambian hospitality. Some camps offer child-friendly safari activities (including first aid lessons, survival skills and weaving workshops), whilst others include babysitting services for when you need some peace.
A memorable adventure for kids and parents alike, this Zambia family holiday has plenty to see and do for all ages.

Planet
As with all of our luxury holidays, this itinerary has been crafted to ensure that it positively effects the local communities and environments visited.This itinerary includes trips to some of Zambia's protected areas of natural beauty, including national parks and the UNESCO-listed Victoria Falls area. By visiting these sites (all entrance fees are included in your luxury tour), you are supporting the preservation and conservation of these areas, and indicating to authorities that tourists are interested in protecting Zambia's incredible natural environments. This, in turn, provides more funding for park rangers and puts more patrols on the ground, which deters and stops poaching.
Whilst out on safari, please ensure that you don’t leave any litter – everything you carry in, you must carry out. Aside from the environmental damage, litter can be harmful to the wildlife.
We also make a special effort to recommend accommodation providers which have responsible and sustainable initiatives. For example, Flatdogs Camp boasts a carbon neutral certificate as one of the first carbon neutral operators in Zambia. The camp also supports environmental and conservation projects such as Conservation South Luangwa, which pays paying the salaries of Community Forest Guards. A portion of your final bill is goes towards these conservation initiatives, so you can be reassured that your presence is creating a positive impact.
People
All the local guides referred to in this itinerary are paid a fair wage. We believe that using local guides is important, as it helps generate local incomes and creates jobs, plus it offers a more authentic travel experience.We recommend independent local hotels, lodges, guesthouses and campsites, rather than international chain hotels, which helps support local communities and allows you to experience true Zambian hospitality. For example, Chundukwa River Lodge is family owned has been in operation for over 50 years. Owners Doug and Gail built the original Chundukwa in 1992 and aim to offer an authentic Zambian experience, immersing guests in the history, culture and soul of Zambia. The property is constructed from natural materials and the restaurant uses organic, home-grown produce from the garden as well as fresh ingredients from surrounding farms, which supports the local community.
This luxury Zambia holiday includes the option for cultural experiences learning about local traditions with trips to local villages, where you can buy authentic souvenirs. We believe getting to know the destination and the people who live there means that you will have a more authentic and meaningful travel experience.
