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.

  • 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.

Accommodation in Zambia: Musanza Camp

Musanza is a simple, old-fashioned and if your idea of bliss is watching kingfishers over breakfast and listening to lions roar at night, then we can't recommend it highly enough.

Musanza Camp

The Kafue National Park

Musanza Tented Camp is situated in the Busanga Plains in the Northern sector of the Kafue National Park and is about as wild a location as any in Africa.

This simple camp is surrounded by total wilderness - an unfenced mosaic of seasonal floodplains, dambos and forest. There are good numbers of plains game in the area and the camp is perfectly suited for lion viewing.

It was originally a seasonal camp, used only occasionally by passing tour groups, but the location was so special it has now become a more permanent option.

Guests stay in traditional Meru-style tents overlooking the Lufupa River. The four original camp tents are all ensuite, with loos and bucket showers at the back of each one. There also two newer safari tents, built in a slightly different design, with open air bathrooms to the rear enclosed by a reed fence.

In the centre of the camp is the mess. The main area is a large green canvas tent, and houses the dining table, bar and a small seating area.

In front is the river, where a line of safari chairs make the perfect base for a morning cup of coffee and early evening drinks.
