Zambia offers unspoiled wilderness and game-rich national parks, as well as comfortable and stylish safari camps and lodges. North of the magnificent Victoria Falls lies the famous South Luangwa National Park on the beautiful Luangwa River, and the untamed wilds of Kafue National Park. A perfect balance to these is the idyllic Lower Zambezi National Park, where river activities such as boat cruises and canoeing give a very different perspective to wildlife viewing. Relax with a G&T on your river cruise as you watch a family of elephants cross to the other side. For the more adventurous there are guided walking safaris available, as well as guided canoe trips down the Zambezi.
Malawi, the warm heart of Africa, is a land of mighty mountains, verdant valleys and chrystalline lakes. There are colourful markets, parks teeming with game and the astonishing expanse of Lake Malawi. It is a perfact add-on to a safari.
