Zambia is possibly the finest, and certainly one of the least visited, wildlife destinations in Africa. At our two distinct bases of South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Park, you will see the best it has to offer. You are likely to spot leopard, prides of lions, herds of elephant, zebra and antelope as well as hippos and crocodiles on the magnificent Zambezi River. While staying in Luangwa you will also have an opportunity to meet the children from Yosefe Basic School.
Close to the park are two other special places: Yosefe Basic School (see here for details) and Kapani Lodge - a wonderful lodge equipped with modern amenities but built in African style.
