FAQs
When is the best time to visit Zambia?
June to October offers prime safari conditions with outstanding wildlife viewing and comfortable temperatures. September delivers peak game concentrations. May and November provide excellent value with fewer crowds. Victoria Falls peaks February to May. Walking safaris best June to October when camps are fully operational.
What makes Zambian safaris different?
Zambia pioneered walking safaris and remains Africa's premier destination for foot-based wildlife encounters. Small seasonal bush camps maintain intimacy and authenticity. South Luangwa offers exceptional leopard density. Lower Zambezi's canoe safaris create unique aquatic experiences. Genuine wilderness with minimal tourist numbers ensures authentic adventures.
Is Zambia suitable for first-time safari visitors?
Whilst Zambia excels for experienced safari-goers seeking authentic wilderness, carefully selected lodges accommodate first-timers excellently. Expert guides, comfortable camps, and exceptional wildlife viewing provide outstanding introductions. However, remote locations and seasonal closures require more planning than traditional destinations. Your specialist ensures appropriate selections.
Can I combine Victoria Falls with Zambian national parks?
Absolutely. Most itineraries combine Livingstone's Victoria Falls access with South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, or both. Daily flights connect regions efficiently. Typical combinations allocate three nights Victoria Falls and four to six nights safari. Your Africa Travel Specialist creates seamless combinations maximising your Zambian adventure.
Do I need malaria prophylaxis for Zambia?
Yes. All safari regions including South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, Kafue, and Victoria Falls require malaria precautions year-round. Risk increases during the wet season (November to April) but remains present throughout the year. Consult your doctor six to eight weeks before travel for current requirements and appropriate prophylaxis.
