Zambia is a large country, a bit larger than the state of Texas, and was previously known as Northern Rhodesia.Its diverse terrain, including lush river valleys, Kalahari bushveld, plateau  woodland and  huge swamps, contains a great variety of species.Zambia is one of the best places in Africa to hunt dangerous game such as lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant, as well as a great variety of plains game.The finest sable in Africa are found in Zambia, as well as several unique species found nowhere else.These include the Kafue lechwe, black lechwe, and Cookson’s wildebeest.

Zambia was one of the last countries to be discovered by foreign sportsmen, but for more than 30 years now, it has been one of the most popular safari destinations in Africa. 

In recent years the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) has done much to improve wildlife management, which is the cornerstone of the country’s tourism industry.Zambia boasts 19 national parks and 27 game management areas (GMAs).  Modest harvest quotas and tight control of the safari industry have resulted in a high level of service and high success rates on big game safaris. Three types of safari licenses are permitted in Zambia: the Classic Safari, with a minimum duration of 14 days, which allows the hunter to hunt leopard lion, buffalo, and other premier species, as well as all species of plains game, and the Mini Safari, which allows the purchaser to hunt for a maximum of 5 animals, excluding high value species such as lion, leopard, sable and roan are the most popular.There are also Special Safari licenses which authorize the purchaser to hunt specific species such as Kafue lechwe and sitatunga. 

Approximately half of Zambia is still sparsely populated.Therefore, there is ample excellent habitat for wild game.The Luangwa Valley has long been one of the most famous areas in Africa for lion and leopard and huge buffalo.This long river valley with its attendant flood plains and surrounding Mopane woodland has two national parks, which provide a steady reservoir of game for the several GMA blocks which surround them.  Equally famous for full-maned lions is the Kafue National park and the hunting GMAs which surround it.On the Kafue Flats the largest of all subspecies of lechwe is found- the Kafue lechwe.The Kafue is also famous for huge sable and a great variety of other antelope.In the north of the country the vast Bangweulu swamp is home to black lechwe, tsessebe, oribi and Zambezi sitatunga.

Blessed with 17 magnificent waterfalls apart from the spectacular Victoria Falls, Zambia offers tours for ‘cascade followers’  into the remote undeveloped rural areas where you can get a glimpse of village life. Zambia has the largest water resources in the whole of southern Africa with 5 massive lakes and plentiful rivers offering excellent fishing.A wide range of hi-action activities from the legendary Walking Safari deep in the wilderness, to world class River Rafting, Bungi into the deep gorge below the Victoria Falls, Abseiling, Canoeing Safaris down the Zambezi, River Surfing, excellent Tiger Fishing and breath-taking African sunsets.
