A Tale of Two Safaris: Zambia Safari Tours to Stir the Soul

An African safari – an authentic journey into the wilderness – is so much more than a holiday. It’s an adventure that connects you forever with the wild heart of the continent. From the flow of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, giving life to the land as it travels, to the Liuwa Plains that host the second largest wildebeest migration in the world, Africa is bursting with adventures. Here are two Zambia safari tours that are the perfect opportunities to answer the call of this magical continent…

The luxury of a safari isn’t found in thread counts; it’s in the moments that take your breath away – the thunder of a thousand hooves and the warmth of a campfire under the twinkling of a million stars. We believe in journeys that are rich, personal, and profoundly moving, and this is exactly what these two safari tours offer.

The Magical Liuwa Plain

Let’s begin in Zambia. If you’ve heard of the Great Migration, you’ll know of the Serengeti. But what if we told you there’s another, even more exclusive, migration you could witness? This is the spectacle of Liuwa Plain National Park. Our Magical Liuwa Plain tour is for those who seek the untamed and the authentic.

The journey begins with a visit to Victoria Falls. The sheer power of the “Smoke that Thunders” is a sight you won’t soon forget. But this is just the beginning. From here, you’ll travel deep into the heart of Zambia to the Liuwa Plain National Park, a place of sweeping grasslands and dramatic skies.

Your home here will be the magnificent King Lewanika Lodge, a lodge perfectly positioned to see the herds of the wildebeest migration. Think of it as a haven of understated luxury, a place where you can feel the pulse of the savannah from your private veranda.

Liuwa Plains is a land of recovery and resilience, a conservation success story where a growing population of cheetahs and a thriving lion pride roam freely. Your days here are guided by the rhythm of the wild. You’ll rise with the sun, venturing out on game drives in vehicles with vista seats that give you an unmatched perspective for photography.

Witness the continent’s second-largest wildebeest migration, a sea of wildebeest on the move, with predators hot on their heels. But the magic of this Zambia safari tour isn’t just in the moments of high drama. It’s in the quiet walks through the bush during which you learn to read the stories in the tracks and in the stillness of a canoe trip, gliding silently past wildlife at the water’s edge.

Dates for this tour: 28 November to 2 December 2025 / 23 December to 27 December 2025

Delta to Liuwa

For those who want to experience the very best of two worlds, our Delta to Liuwa tour is the perfect choice. This is a multi-destination southern Africa safari that connects Botswana’s legendary Okavango Delta with the vast plains of Zambia, creating an adventure of unparalleled diversity and luxury.

Your adventure begins with an Okavango Delta safari. In this UNESCO World Heritage Site lies Xugana Island Lodge, the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature. Days here are spent on the water, exploring the intricate network of channels and lagoons in a traditional mokoro canoe or by motorboat.

Gliding silently through the papyrus reeds, with hippos grunting in the distance and birdsong all around, is simply unforgettable. You’ll also have the opportunity to take guided bush walks on the small islands, learning to unravel the delta’s secrets with an expert guide.

You’ll then move to Botswana’s Chobe River Front, a place famous for its colossal elephant herds. At the Chobe Game Lodge, you’ll enjoy a river safari, watching these magnificent animals drink and play in the water from the comfort of an electric boat. It’s a sensory experience, from the rumble of elephants to the quiet splash of water against the hull.

Elephants aren’t the only animals drawn in by the water… Predators including lions, leopards, and wild dogs can also be spotted here.

“We viewed lots of lion action from Chobe Game Lodge and tonnes of hippos from the Xugana Island Lodge!” – Gerry, USA.

The final leg of your journey takes you across the border into Zambia, where a night at the elegant Mukwa River Lodge offers a moment of serene relaxation on the banks of the Zambezi, with an optional day trip to Victoria Falls.

From rivers to the savannah, the next part of your Zambia safari tour takes place in the Liuwa Plains and the King Lewanika Lodge. It’s here, in this remote corner, that you’ll disconnect from the world so that you can connect to the raw beauty of Africa.

Dates for this tour: 23 November to 2 December 2025 / 18 December to 27 December 2025
