Zambia
From game drives in one of the country's wildlife parks, to hearing the roar of Victoria Falls or cruising down the Zambezi - Zambia has it all. Rich in wildlife but scant in tourists, Zambia is less established as a holiday destination than many of its neighbours, making it one of the best places to enjoy an authentic safari experience.
Zambia is the rising star of the African safari circuit. This seldom visited country has recently come into its own following sustained investment in its national park system and transport infrastructure. The rich wildlife and dramatic wilderness areas have always been here but they used to be difficult to reach for all but the most intrepid travellers. Sanctuary Retreats has access to Zambia’s best national parks and can introduce guests to the magic of this central African jewel.
Zambia has lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant in abundance, and some exciting endemic species too. It is also a great draw for birders who marvel at its variety of birdlife; and for fishermen it is something of a place of pilgrimage. The Tigerfish – possibly the most thrilling freshwater game fish in Africa and a relative of the piranha– is a native of Zambia’s rivers. At Sanctuary’s lodges and camps, guests can rest assured that their highly experienced guides will show them Zambia’s wonders in style and comfort.
