Zambia: Africa�s Best Kept Secret

�Along the Luangwa, the Africa I had daydreamed about while reading H. Rider Haggard as a boy came alive. We walked for hours in the warm sun of the African spring, and in the near distance saw impala, zebra, a few elephant, wildebeest, and giraffe, as well as the ever-present vervet monkeys catching air between branches.� OUTSIDE Magazine

Maneuvering between hippo and crocodile on the Zambezi River, the real J. Peterman lost his luggage when his canoe tipped over, but otherwise reckoned he had a great day. Why? He didn�t actually go over Victoria Falls.

We invite you to keep your luggage dry back at camp while you dine on the lip of Victoria Falls, at the World Heritage site known as Livingstone Island. 

From the ultimate photo op, you then venture into some of Africa�s most splendid, wide and wild places for a walk in the beautiful Luangwa Valley. Small camps and real Insider Guides such as Phil Berry, formerly head of Zambia's Rhino anti-poaching unit and naturalist extraordinaire, provide unparalleled glimpses of Africa the way it is meant to be seen �with no other tourists in sight.
