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.

Visit Shiwa Ngandu, Zambia

Shiwa N’gandu ("Lake of the Royal Crocodiles") was made famous by Stewart Gore-Browne, an English gentleman. Here, he built an English stately home, which is still impressive even by today's standards.

Shiwa Ngandu

Zambia

In the heart of northern Zambia is Shiwa N’gandu - "Lake of the Royal Crocodiles" that was made famous by Stewart Gore-Browne, an English gentleman.

He arrived at Shiwa N’gandu in 1911 when surveying the surrounding area for the military and consequently he decided to build his graceful English stately home there in 1928, far from any major habitation overlooking the vast lake, set in a 10,000 hectare estate.

Kapishya Hot Springs

A few miles away from Shiwa N’gandu are the crystal clear waters of the Kapishya Hot Springs. Hot bubbling water gushes out of the beautiful white sand surrounding the pool and mixes with the cooler water from a local river creating a gorgeous place to bathe. This is an unforgettable location for relaxing in the warm water, shaded by lush tropical vegetation and raffia palms.

Activities in and around Shiwa N’gandu

There are numerous activities to enjoy from Shiwa. You can explore the grounds and estate, enjoying walks or horse riding down to the lake, through forests, up Nachipala Hill and along the Katete River. You can also explore the house with all its ornaments, trophies and photographs as well as be privileged to have access to the archived material that Stewart Gore-Browne kept in his old study.

It is also possible to enjoy game drives in open 4WDs, or take boat trips on the lake and through the papyrus swamps along the Mansha River.
