Zambia Safaris

Zambia Safaris – When you really want to appreciate nature, solid structures are more of a hindrance than a blessing. When you arrive at a Zambian game viewing venue, you will find easy open structures fashioned of porous canvas and indigenous materials with the majesty of nature all around you – the towering trees of the wilderness, open house in camp for browsers and even the odd Puku. When you’re in your tent, reeded bungalow, or thatched cottage, you are part of the warp and weft of the wilderness environment.

Zambia is often described as the ‘real Africa’ and it is easy to see why when on Zambia Safaris. The country is famed for its huge protected wilderness areas and the South Luangwa National Park is home to arguably the most diverse range of game in Africa. Birds are also found in rich profusion.

What Weather to expect on a Zambia Safari

The months between May and November, when large number of animals migrate towards the waterways of the Okavango Delta, is the best time to go.

November and December – the calving months – are an excellent time to witness nature’s own timetable of regeneration. The rainy season, from January to March, sees the migration of large numbers of game into the summer grazing areas, while the delta comes alive with sounds of hundreds of bird species.

In March and April thousands of zebras and other animals migrate towards the Savuti area of Chobe National Park.

Summers (particularly from December through to February) can become exceptionally hot, and rain may make some roads muddy and impassable.

During the rainy summer season, animals in many game areas disperse, while in the dry winter season they congregate around water sources, making for good game viewing. This does not mean, however, that game viewing is impossible during the summer season.
