Safaris in Zambia: South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and tours with an Italian guide

Zambia is one of Africa’s last great authentic safari destinations, a country where nature still reigns supreme and where you can enjoy an experience far removed from the usual tourist trails.

A trip to Zambia means exploring wild parks, following animal tracks on a walking safari, cruising along the Zambezi River and discovering one of the continent’s most fascinating natural areas.

Famous as the home of walking safaris, Zambia offers a different way to experience Africa: more intimate, more exciting and deeply connected to nature.

With South African Dream, we organise bespoke safaris in Zambia, private tours and itineraries with an Italian-speaking guide, selecting lodges and camps in the country’s finest areas.

Why choose a safari in Zambia

Zambia is the ideal destination for those seeking a wild and authentic Africa.

During your trip, you’ll be able to experience:

  • walking safaris in the savannah
  • South Luangwa National Park
  • Lower Zambezi National Park
  • Victoria Falls
  • boat safaris on the Zambezi
  • photographic safaris
  • big cats
  • exclusive lodges in the wilderness
  • few vehicles during game drives

It is the perfect destination for those seeking a more exclusive safari experience than the traditional routes offer.

Zambia safaris with an Italian guide

A trip to Zambia requires expertise in choosing the best areas and the best time of year. The safari areas are remote and each park offers very different experiences.

We organise:

  • Zambia tours with an Italian guide on request (to be booked well in advance)
  • tailor-made private safaris
  • fly-in safaris
  • photography trips
  • Zambia and Botswana combinations
  • itineraries including Victoria Falls

Each trip is tailored to the traveller’s chosen time of year and expectations.

South Luangwa National Park: the heart of safaris in Zambia: South Luangwa is considered one of Africa’s finest safari parks. &It is famous for its extremely high concentration of wildlife and for being one of the iconic areas for walking safaris. During a safari in South Luangwa, you can spot:

  • lions
  • leopards
  • elephants
  • hippos
  • buffalo
  • Thornicroft’s giraffes

The variety of wildlife sightings makes it one of the most popular destinations for nature photographers.

Walking Safaris in Zambia: Zambia is considered the home of the walking safari. Walking through the savannah accompanied by professional guides allows you to discover a completely different side of Africa. It is not just about looking for large animals, but about learning to interpret:

  • tracks
  • sounds
  • animal behaviour
  • the African bush ecosystem

It is one of the most exciting safari experiences.

Lower Zambezi National Park: The Lower Zambezi offers a unique safari experience thanks to the presence of the great Zambezi River. Here, the safari combines land and water:

  • 4x4 game drives
  • boat safari
  • canoe safari
  • walking safari

The river creates spectacular scenery featuring elephants, hippos and numerous species of birds.

Kafue National Park: Kafue is one of Africa’s largest and least well-known parks. A destination for true safari enthusiasts, with vast wild spaces and very little tourism. The Busanga Plains area is particularly famous for wildlife sightings during the dry season.

Zambia and Victoria Falls: A trip to Zambia can easily include a visit to Victoria Falls. The Livingstone area offers the chance to experience:

  • a visit to the falls
  • a sunset cruise on the Zambezi
  • a scenic helicopter flight
  • nature-based activities

It is the ideal way to round off a safari.

Zambia and Botswana: the great southern African safari

One of the most spectacular combinations brings together Zambia and Botswana.

An itinerary might include:

  • South Luangwa
  • Lower Zambezi
  • Victoria Falls
  • Chobe National Park
  • Okavango Delta

A trip designed for those who want the very best of African safaris.

Zambia in 10–12 days: recommended itinerary

To explore Zambia, we recommend at least 10–12 days.

A comprehensive itinerary might include:

  • Livingstone
  • South Luangwa
  • Lower Zambezi
  • Kafue National Park

Travel between destinations is often by domestic flights to make the most of your time.

When to visit Zambia: the best time for a safari

The best time for a safari in Zambia is generally from May to October.

During the dry season, animals congregate near the rivers and sightings are excellent.

From June to September, the weather is ideal.

October offers extraordinary safaris, with higher temperatures.

The green season, on the other hand, offers lush landscapes and excellent opportunities for photography.

How much does a safari in Zambia cost?

Zambia is an exclusive safari destination.

The cost depends on:

  • the duration of the trip
  • the number of parks visited
  • the category of the lodges
  • domestic flights
  • the chosen time of year

The quality of the guides and the authenticity of the experience make Zambia an ideal destination for those seeking a safari of the highest standard.
