Tailor-made Zambia

carmines_on_stick

Zambia is the place we know best; this is where we grew up, and the place that draws us back time and time again. Our founder and director, Chris Breen, lived and worked here, and ran walking safaris from two beautiful bushcamps in the heart of the Luangwa Valley. It is against the standards of accommodation and guiding in Zambia that we compare everything else in the world that we offer. Zambia holds our heart.

It is a country with warm, welcoming people and smiling faces. It also has fantastic accommodation and good transport links. However, it is Zambia's staggering diversity that really makes it our number one destination. From the verdant grassy plains and fi rst-class walking trails in the Luangwa, to the tree-climbing lions of Kafue's Busanga Plains, and the canoeing and boating opportunities on the Lower Zambezi, this is 'safari par excellence'. In some places, you won't see another tourist. It is the way they 'safari' in Zambia that makes it all so special.

Try it - we have lots of interesting suggestions over the next few pages, carved from our years of experience. In fact, we think that if you travel to Zambia, you will want to return again and again... as so many of our safari-goers do.
