Zambia Accommodation
Zambia’s about so much more than just the Victoria Falls. Enjoy canoe safaris in the Lower Zambezi National Park, walking safaris in the Luangwa Valley and leopard-spotting on night drives in South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi. There’s also spectacular birdlife along the Zambezi and around Lake Bengweulu.
Zambia safaris are renowned for their natural beauty and are one of the most pristine and unspoiled wildlife havens on the entire African continent, owing to the country’s incredibly low population. This low population is one of the many reasons the accomodation in Zambia is so unique, with a huge variety of luxurious Zambia game lodges, safari lodges and tented camps.
Safari Lodges, Game Lodges & Tented Camps
Kafue National Park is Zambia’s largest wildlife reserve and also one of the biggest in Africa. It covers more than 22000km² (2500km2 more than South Africa’s Kruger National Park), and the terrain varies significantly from north to south.
Zambia accommodation in the park offers travellers plenty of options for places to stay in between safaris, from Zambia safari lodges to Zambia game lodges and Zambia tented camps.
Kasanka National Park is Zambia’s only privately managed park, run by the Kasanka Trust charity in partnership with the local community. At slightly less than 400km2, it’s also one of Zambia’s smallest, lying just south of the Bangweulu Wetlands near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Lake Kariba is the world’s largest man-made dam by volume, extending over 5000km2 along Zambia’s southern border. Completed in 1959, the dam provides hydro-electric power to both Zambia and Zimbabwe, and fish stocks – mainly tilapia, kapenta and the prized tigerfish – are also shared.
One of Zambia’s most remote national parks, Liuwa Plain lies west of the upper Zambezi River, close to the border with Angola. It’s made up of vast grasslands with a smattering of pans, dotted here and there with palms and clumps of Kalahari woodland.
Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Zambia’s premier wildlife destinations, certainly in the top three with South Luangwa and Kafue. Wildlife viewing is best along the rivers, which border the park on three sides. Some of Zambia’s safari lodges, game lodges or Zambia’s tented camps actually offer boat cruises that allow you to get close to some of this spectacular wildlife.
The Zambezi River itself is the region’s main source of water and the major attraction, both for visitors and game. Zambia game lodges, Zambia tented camps and Zambia safari lodges offer guests brilliant Zambia accommodation choices in the region.
