Explore Zambia with Indigo Safaris
Zambia is one of the ultimate safari destinations, away from the tourist crowds and sharing the breath-taking Victoria Falls with the neighbouring Zimbabwe. It features a large network of national parks, less visited than those in Botswana, Tanzania or Kenya, and many considerably wilder too. Permanent water sources like the Zambezi and the Luangwa River are animal magnets and a paradise for birders.

Why Visit Zambia?
Where Adventure Flows with the Wild
Zambia’s wildlife is outstanding in variety and numbers and well-known for its big cat population, wild dogs in growing numbers, and some of the biggest elephants we have ever seen. On top of that you can find some rare and unique species like the Thornicroft's giraffe in South Luangwa National Park and the Shoebill stork in the Bangweulu Wetlands. Zambia also hosts the world's largest bat migration in Kasanga National Park, for those who are after a wildlife adventure of a different kind.
- ➡ The Birthplace of the Walking Safari
-
Zambia is where the walking safari was perfected. In South Luangwa National Park, expert guides lead you through the bush on foot, revealing the intricate details of nature often missed from a vehicle.
- ➡ The Mighty Victoria Falls
-
Witness one of the world’s greatest natural wonders as the Zambezi River plunges into a thunderous gorge, creating mist that can be seen from kilometres away. Adventure seekers can enjoy white-water rafting, helicopter flights, and even swimming in the Devil’s Pool.
- ➡ Abundant and Diverse Wildlife
-
Zambia’s national parks teem with life — from lions and leopards to elephants, wild dogs, and over 700 bird species. South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, and Kafue offer thrilling game drives, night safaris, and river-based wildlife viewing.
- ➡ Remote and Exclusive Experiences
-
Far from the crowds, Zambia’s small, owner-run camps and intimate lodges provide a true sense of wilderness. It’s a country for those who value authenticity, connection, and quiet adventure.
- ➡ Warm People and Rich Culture
-
Beyond the parks, Zambia’s welcoming people and vibrant traditions bring an added depth to your journey. Visit local villages, meet artisans, and experience the genuine warmth that defines Zambian hospitality.
Best Times to Visit Zambia
Seasons of Rivers, Wilderness, and Wonder
Zambia’s landscapes transform with the seasons, offering travellers a different kind of safari magic throughout the year. From the drama of the dry season, when wildlife gathers in vast numbers along the rivers, to the lush green season, alive with birdlife and newborn animals, each time of year reveals a new side of this extraordinary destination.
- ➡ May to October – The Dry Season and Prime Safari Time
-
This is the best time to visit Zambia. Clear skies, cool mornings, and thinning vegetation make for outstanding game viewing across South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, and Kafue. Victoria Falls is still powerful in May and June, gradually revealing its dramatic rock face as the water recedes.
- ➡ November to April – The Emerald Season
-
The rains bring Zambia to life. Lush greenery, newborn animals, and prolific birdlife define this time of renewal. Though some camps close, photographic opportunities abound, especially for those seeking solitude and dramatic skies.
- ➡ December to March – Best for Birding and Photography
-
Migratory species fill the skies, while the bush bursts with colour. Rivers and floodplains overflow, creating reflections and contrasts that make this a photographer’s paradise.
- ➡ April to May – Victoria Falls in Full Flow
-
This is when the Zambezi River is at its most powerful. The falls roar with intensity, sending mist high into the sky — a mesmerising sight best viewed from the Zambian side.
