ZAMBIA – Raw & Authentic taste of Africa
We present to you our latest expedition, created for those who are looking for a non-commercialized encounter with the African “bush”.
Located in southern Africa, Zambia is a destination for safari gourmets. Unlike countries such as Kenya and Tanzania, where safaris are often geared towards mass tourism, Zambia has significantly fewer visitors. This also means amore intimate wilderness experience, crowd-free spaces, and a more personal commitment from the guide. The country has over 70 different ethnic groups and is characterized by raw access to wilderness, powerful river systems , and a complete absence of fences. Due to the sheer size of the country, it is ideal to focus on two regions during your stay, we have chosen the absolute best.
Organizing an expedition deep into Zambia’s “bush” requires precise logistics. We managed to realize this route and combine two completely different approaches into one concept: the freedom of self-driving and the expertise of tours with local guides.
We have provided reliable Toyota Hilux 4×4 SUVs, premium off-road insurance and permits for the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa National Parks. The result is a tour where you are not just a passenger in the back seat, but you become an active participant in the expedition.
The concept of the expedition: Active Participation
- We combine self-drive safaris, where we drive our own jeeps and guided game drives in fully open jeeps with professionals from campsites.
- Convoy: We drive in a convoy of 5 cars, led by a local guide from the most reliable operating agency in Zambia.
- Logistics: Everything is covered. Premium insurance (including tire damage, which African car rental companies rarely cover), fuel, park tickets, taxes and night safaris.
Our destinations are vast, isolated and untamed – real, authentic African wilderness.
Lower Zambezi
4 days / 3 nights / 6 safaris
The Zambezi River is the perfect starting point for a Zambian safari. Unlike traditional parks where safaris take place exclusively from vehicles, Lower Zambezi is specific for “boat safari”. In addition to regular “game drive” rides, the focus is on moving along the Zambezi River in canoes or boats, which allows the animals to approach from the water. The park is strategically positioned, enclosed on one side by the Zambezi Escarpment, which pushes all the animals down towards the river, while on the other side of the river is the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. There are no fences, so these two parks form a huge natural corridor for the unhindered migration of wildlife. Due to the dense forest and specific vegetation that grows right along the riverbank, the Lower Zambezi has an extremely healthy population of leopards and lions.
South Luangwa
5 days / 4 nights / 8 safaris
Over 9,000 square kilometers are dominated by the Luangwa River. It constantly changes its course, creating lagoons that become the only source of water and a magnet for thousands of animals in the dry season, creating the perfect stage for predators. The Luangwe Stream is home to the largest population of crocodiles and hippos in Africa. This park is known globally as the “Valley of Leopards” because of the exceptional density of these cats. Zambia is also the place where the concept of walking safari originated, and it is also specific for the permitted night rides. In addition to the exceptional density of leopards, the park is also home to the endemic Thornicroft giraffe, recognizable by its smaller stature, darker patterns, and spotless legs below the knee.

Reservation and payment terms
To book a trip to Zambia, you need to buy an airline ticket and send it for inspection. A deposit of 30% must be paid three months before the trip to our local partners in Zambia. All other payments are made in dollars (USD) upon arrival at the destination.
Our association is not a travel agency, but was founded with the aim of bringing together people who share a passion for nature and animals. We travel to Africa to contribute through our own experiences, education and joint actions to the conservation of endangered species and the promotion of responsible, conscious travel, providing a new perspective on adventure and learning about safari culture.
Useful information
October in Zambia is the peak of the safari season. Vegetation is at its rarest, and animals congregate around the remaining water sources, creating fantastic viewing opportunities. The days are extremely warm, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, so a light summer wardrobe is key to packing.
We recommend neutral safari colors, cream, beige, brown and olive green, so that you can blend in with your surroundings as much as possible. This expedition is designed as a fully rounded experience and everything is included in the program. All logistics costs, vehicle insurance, fuel, park permits, accommodation, and meals are covered. Your only additional expenses will be personal expenses, drinks ordered at the campsites, and tips for local staff.
