Zambia is the true home of safari, a land where the iconic walking safari was born and where you can immerse yourself in Africa’s untouched wilderness. With legendary bush camps and an abundance of wildlife, Zambia offers a safari experience like no other, often free from the crowds seen in other destinations. The guides here are renowned for their deep knowledge and passion, making each adventure an inspiring journey. While some believe Zambia is best for seasoned safari-goers, we disagree.

Our trip to Zambia & Mozambique was beautifully planned from start to finish. The lodges were small and full of character, and everything ran like clockwork without ever feeling over-organised. We felt very looked after.

David Pockett, Zambia & Mozambique

Zambia was magical and Sundowner nailed the balance between comfort and wilderness. Each stop brought something new and the wildlife sightings were incredible. Already dreaming of our next trip.

Jack Viney, Zambia

Peaceful bush camps, stunning river views, and some incredible wildlife moments, including watching a leopard stalking through the long grass and a herd of elephants crossing the Luangwa at dusk.

Pamela Wells, Zambia

We’ve just returned from Zambia and it was absolutely fantastic. The lodges were full of character and the whole trip had a real sense of adventure while still feeling easy and relaxed. A brilliant itinerary from Sundowner.

Simon Bullard, Zambia

This was our first time in Zambia and Sundowner put together a beautiful, well-paced itinerary. We loved the remote bush camps and the mix of game drives and walking safaris. Would absolutely recommend.
