Discover Safaris

Discover Zambia: From the Remote, Pristine Kafue to the Legendary Victoria Falls

Dominating the wild and remote north-west of Zambia’s legendary Kafue National Park are the vast Busanga wetlands and floodplains – the latter a sweeping, seasonally inundated grassland boasting some of the most pristine and diverse habitat in Africa. Speciality antelope and birds are found in astonishing abundance, followed by predators large and small. Wilderness Safaris took a leap of faith more than a decade ago to offer safaris here for just five months of the year, providing life-changing employment to local community members as well as a vital anti-poaching presence. To the south, just upstream of the legendary Victoria Falls along the mystical Zambezi River, is serenely beautiful Toka Leya – the ideal starting (or finishing) point to a purposeful Zambian safari.

Victoria Falls, Africa's most impressive waterfall

Africa's most impressive waterfall leaves all who gaze upon it in mystified awe, but there's much more than spectacular scenic beauty to enthrall visitors to Victoria Falls
The town of Victoria Falls is to Zimbabwe as Hong Kong is to China ... a seemingly autonomous and vibrant enclave that boasts everything a traveler to southern Africa could wish for. The waterfall – especially when the river's water levels rise between January and June – is immense and description-defyingly impressive, but the Zimbabwean town that shares the falls' name is in itself a great destination to explore.

With many of its hotels strung out along the Upper Zambezi, a stone's throw above the Falls, Vic Falls town has developed in close proximity to 'the smoke that thunders'. This makes it considerably easier for guests to access the waterfall on the Zimbabwean side than from the Zambian town of Livingstone. Furthermore, the tiny Victoria Falls National Park, with its rainforest trails and numerous viewpoints, provides unrivaled opportunities to view the multiple falls that together constitute this extraordinary natural spectacle.

If you want to have a look at the adventures and itineraries we offer for the Victoria Falls, follow the link:

Quick and affordable Victoria Falls & Chobe experience

This journey takes you to the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls to marvel at what is the largest sheet of falling water in the world. After a walking tour of this World Heritage Site, you may decide to challenge yourself to one of the many adrenalin activities for which the area has become famous.

From there you travel to Chobe National Park in Botswana. Watch the African sun set, cruise along the Chobe River alongside huge elephant, hippo, buffalo and crocodile, or go on a 4x4 safari in search of lion, cheetah or the beautiful endangered sable antelope with its curved horns.

Victoria Falls Chobe and Okavango Delta Adventure

Kick your journey off with a visit to the World Heritage Site of Victoria Falls in Zambia. From there you'll visit Chobe National Park in Botswana, exploring by land in a 4x4 safari vehicle and along the Chobe River on a boat cruise that gets you close enough to the big game for good photographs even without a zoom lens.

Your final stop is Botswana's Okavango Delta, which in 2013 was declared one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. The area is rich in wildlife in the dry season (May to August), including the Big Five as well as giraffe, sitatunga and lechwe antelope.

Xugana Island Lodge

-- Xugana Island Lodge --

Xugana Island lagoon is widely accepted as being the most spectacular permanent water site in the entire Okavango Delta. Situated on a wooded island abutting the lagoon, the lodge takes full advantage of this magnificent site. In fact, the lodge was only the second permanent lodge to be constructed in the area.

Xugana Island Lodge is the perfect place to relax, although guests should not miss the opportunity to take part in classic Okavango Delta activities on offer. These include meanders along the waterways in mokoros, game drives for sightings of animals in the Okavango Delta, including the opportunity to spot the rare red lechwe and African wild dog. Boating excursions for water-based game viewing are also a highlight.

Birdwatching opportunities are outstanding, and fishing for bream and tigerfish is offered.

Chundu Island | An experience in the Zambezi National Park | Victoria Falls | Zimbabwe

Chundu Island is set on a private island located in the Zambezi National Park 21km upstream from the magnificent Victoria Falls. Take a moment to see what you could experience on your next adventure when on a journey with Seolo Africa.

Zimbabwe safaris

Despite negative international perceptions, Zimbabwe remains a truly rewarding and very accessible travel destination. The country's flagship safari attraction is the immense Hwange National Park, which is renowned for its large herds of elephant (especially in the dry season) and plentiful big cats and other wildlife.

A more singular adventure is offered by Mana Pools National Park, which lies on the southern bank of the Zambezi River below the Kariba Dam, and offers wonderful canoeing safaris as well as the opportunity to walk freely among big game. Also very worthwhile is Matusadona National Park, which overlooks Lake Kariba and is famed for supporting several thousand-strong herds of buffalo, a dense lion population, and one of Zimbabwe’s last black rhino populations.

Victoria Falls Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Victoria Falls.
Located in the south of the African continent and located on the Zambia/Zimbabwe border, the Victoria Falls are one of the world's most amazing and impressive wonders of nature.Between February and March when the Zambesi is at its strongest, an average of more than five hundred million litres of water shoot over edge of the waterfall every minute. Indeed, the dimensions of the Victoria Falls beats all records: at an average height of ninety seven metres, the Victoria Falls are around one and a half times as long and also twice as high as the world famous Niagara Falls in North America.Dense tropical rain forests now cover the former basins of earlier waterfalls and have thus created vegetation that would not normally thrive in the surrounding area. According British explorer, David Livingstone, the waterfalls were such an incredible sightthat even passing angels would have been awestruck and amazed by their outstanding beauty. Even a century and a half after they were first discovered the majestic Victoria Falls are still one of the greatest natural spectacles in the world.

Zimbabwe Green Season Safari - Wilderness Travel

Discover the secret season of safari—an extraordinary time when the bush is emerald green with recent rains, the wildlife abundant with dramatic predator-prey activity due to the recent calving season, the light is absolutely magical for photography, and yet there are remarkably few other travelers! Victoria Falls adds to the drama, with the mighty Zambezi River flowing at its fullest and the towering plumes of the Falls visible up to 30 miles away. We love the secret season, when the grasslands are lush and brimming with foals, calves, and cubs—all of which attract an abundance of predators, from painted dogs to leopards and lions. We’ve created a wonderfully active adventure for you at this special time with our expert naturalist leader—Zim guides are the most highly trained in all of Africa. You’ll set out game viewing by open-sided vehicle and vintage open-air rail car, have thrillingly spontaneous game walks when wildlife is spotted, canoe on the Zambezi, and observe elephants close-up from a special “look up” hide. And, you experience all this at a savings of $1,000 per person compared with high season safaris, as well as significant savings on airfare. Join us for Zimbabwe’s green season and enjoy the safari of a lifetime.

Chundu Island, Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls

Private and peaceful, a birdlover’s paradise bounded by wildlife, here you will find the best of Africa’s natural offerings from a seasonal beach and flooded marshes to lush wetlands and open grasslands.

Breathtaking Chundu Island, accessible by boat, is only 21kms upstream from Zimbabwe’s legendary Victoria Falls. Eight spacious palm thatched en-suite suites, each with their own private deck and perfect view of the Zambezi, are nestled beneath the magnificent riverine trees.

Chundu is perfectly positioned to provide guests with prime access to the Zambezi National Park, where 4×4 safaris soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush. Enjoy the wealth of the bush and Zambezi River with walking trails, river cruises and fishing.

Chundu provides the perfect foil to the bustling town’s excitement. Maximize the flight to Victoria Falls and enjoy the peace and privacy of island living, canoeing and sunset cruises as well as game drives and bush walks.

1:20 Threats to Africa’s wildlife
2:10 Recommended safari regions
2:28 Getting expert planning advice

At Heritage Africa we recommend two regions, Southern Africa and East Africa. A South Africa safari is an excellent introduction and allows you to combine wildlife with other experiences, such as Cape Town or wine tasting. The best South Africa safari destinations are Kruger, especially the private Kruger concessions, and Phinda, a private reserve that’s the perfect destination for first-time travel to Africa.

Botswana is dominated by wilderness and offers highly authentic wildlife experiences, often on an unfathomable scale. You really need at least a week for a Botswana safari. It’s an escape from the world, a true immersion in African wildlife and landscapes. For a Botswana safari we recommend the Okavango Delta, Chobe, the Central Kalahari, and private concessions in the north of the country. Each offers a different and complementary experience.

For a Namibia safari visit Etosha and then the world’s greatest sand dunes – Namib Nauklift. On a Zimbabwe safari we recommend Victoria Falls, Mana Pools and Hwange. Zambia safaris can combine Victoria Falls with South Luangwa, North Luangwa and Kafue. Different Southern African countries can be combined as you plan out the dream safari experience.

Tanzania safaris often focus on Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, where the great wildebeest migration can be found. This country is packed with iconic destinations and you’re spoiled for choice. Tarangire and Lake Manyara connect beautifully with the Serengeti. To get off the beaten track we recommend Ruaha and Selous on a Tanzania safari.

Kenya is the grand dame of safari countries and offers the widest choice of destinations. The Masai Mara is the most famous for a Kenya safari, followed by Amboseli. Laikipea and Samburu are just as good but not as well known. We wouldn’t recommend Uganda or Rwanda for a big-game safari – it’s just much better elsewhere – but these are the two countries where you can go on a gorilla trekking safari.
