The upper and lower Zambezi include a variety of habitats in well
managed private reserves, Game Management Areas and National
Parks. A well developed safari infrastructure in the region
enables simple access and a number of different types of safari to
experience our scenic wilderness areas, the healthy populations of big
and small game and incredible birdlife.
- If you've never been on safari before then we recommend that you
take a look at this "Safari
Primer" for a quick overview of Africa's main safari
destinations, seasons, different types of African safaris, some
ideas on costs and prices plus a simple guide to planning your
travels.
- Canoe safaris: amongst the
most popular safari pursuits in southern Africa, they range from one
day trails in Victoria Falls to full blown expeditions on the lower
Zambezi River. The latter trips are widely regarded as the one
"must-do" safari in southern Africa as a whole!
- Walking safaris:
accompanied by a Professional Guide, this is probably the best way
to get "up real close" in the African bush. These
traditional safaris usually make use of a fixed base camp from which
to explore.
- Birding and specialist safaris:
are ideal if you're in pursuit of particular bird or game species or
want to explore specific cultural, geological, archaeological or
other specialized aspects of the more remote areas.
- Fishing safaris: anglers tend to
be pretty single-minded in their pursuit - preferring not to mix
with others and generally best left to their own devices. With
75 species in the Zambezi and a few well selected private spots,
consider the SafPar options on both the upper and lower stretches of
the Zambezi River.
- Cultural tours: the local
populations in the region have a long and colorful history with a
culture steeped in tribal tradition. The best opportunities
for meeting and interacting with villagers is in Livingstone.
- Combination safaris: In
additional to our "standalone" safari options both in
Victoria Falls and on the lower Zambezi we offer a selection of
easily arranged and cost effective combinations.

Southern Africa contains a number of environments that are rich in
wildlife, are relatively remote and offer additional safari
opportunities. All are relatively easy to access from the primary
hubs in Victoria Falls and the lower Zambezi..
- Zambia is a relatively undeveloped country with 3 main
safari destinations; the Zambezi, Kafue National Park and the Luangwa
valley. The country has a sophisticated safari infrastructure
and is regarded as the home of the modern day walking safari.
- Zimbabwe is one of Africa's finest safari destinations and
is renowned for the quality of its Professional Guides. The
main safari spots are Hwange, Matusadona and Mana Pools.
- Botswana is arguably southern Africa's most popular safari
destination and is home to some of Africa's most well known safari
camps and reserves including Chobe, the Okavango Delta, Moremi and
the Kalahari.
