Zambia — Walking the Wild Side

Zambia is a country that is still authentically Africa; vast landscapes, uncrowded, and the place where the walking safari was invented. Begin your journey on the Zambezi River at Tongabezi lodge, with Victoria Falls from both sides and sunrise and sunset cruises on a river of glass. Fly north to the Busanga Plains, where lions climb trees, then finish in the Luangwa Valley - leopard country, and the finest walking safaris in Africa.
