Reasons To
Visit Zambia

  • Big cats & safari wildlife

    Zambia is a safari destination for the connoisseur, boasting a fantastic range of wildlife in its diverse national parks. Many amazing game experiences can be had within the national parks, with lion virtually guaranteed and leopard in abundance. This superb array of game can be appreciated on foot, by car or on the water.

  • Birds

    Zambia offers the full range of fascinating, colourful birdlife you’d expect to see on safari, with a range of water based birds in the Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Parks. The Bangweulu Wetlands are one of the few places on the planet where you can see the impressive Shoebill Stork.

  • Boat trips

    An evening cruise on the Zambezi in Livingstone and game viewing from Kafue’s Lufupa River are wonderfully relaxing, but best of all are the water based activities in the Lower Zambezi. Drifting slowly down river, observing elephants coming into drink as the sun goes down is one of the definitive African experiences.

    Boat trips

  • Night drives

    With night drives offered in all of the major national parks, Zambia is arguably the best destination in Africa to observe nocturnal wildlife. The South Luangwa in particular is known for outstanding leopard sightings, and there is a tangible excitement to watching how wildlife behaves after dark.

  • Victoria Falls

    By any judgement Victoria Falls is an awesome force of nature. During the wet season up to 550 million litres of water cascades over the lip of the Falls each minute, offering an intensely photogenic experience. The spectacle that so bewitched David Livingstone is still equally impressive today.

  • Walking safari

    With superb guides and remote wilderness, the country that invented the walking safari is still the premier walking destination on the continent. There is nothing quite like approaching elephants or buffalo on foot knowing full well that you are a mere guest in their territory.

Crocodile Bushcamp

South Luangwa National Park

Crocodile Bushcamp is a true walking camp. There are no roads and the only way to reach the camp is on foot - even the luggage and supplies are portered in from the Luangwa River about 2 km away.

There are just 3 chalets, constructed of thatch with large comfortable bedrooms and en suite bathrooms, built amongst and around beautiful ebony trees on the edge of Crocodile River.

When inside your chalet look up to the roof where you will often find one or two small slit-faced bats roosting. These harmless bats will flit about up in the straw roof during the day and leave at dusk.

There is no running water and showers are filled with bucketloads of warm water on request. The rooms look out onto plains where there are always puku, impala and warthog feeding, and there is a semi-permanent water hole that attracts more and more game as the dry season progresses.

At the centre of camp is a small open-sided dining room - again made from reed & thatch. A small bar has plentiful cold drinks and a dining table is set up on the dusty floor. Look up to the roof in the dining room and you will see epauleted bats roosting - again, they flit about during the day and fly out at night to feed.

Its a wonderfully wild spot and we highly recommend it for those looking for true wilderness.
