It is no secret that we have fallen for this landlocked country in southern Africa with its natural attractions that rival those of every major tourism destination in Africa, however, it is yet missing the crowds\u2026 But not for much longer. We believe that Zambia is the next best thing in the African tourism sector \u2013 the country is SO ready for it! The sheer size and remoteness of <u>Zambia<\/u>\u2019s national parks mean no safari vehicle traffic jams, very personal service and an opportunity to meet massive mammals eye-to-eye.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Here are our ten reasons why you should <a href=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/uk\/countries\/zambia\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"138\">visit Zambia<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">1. Victoria Falls, obviously<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Not many words are needed to explain why it is a brilliant idea to see this World Wonder! We are having so much fun every time we go and we believe that it is one of those tourist places that is actually NOT overrated. Just embrace getting wet and stand in awe right next to this natural miracle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47941\" title=\"zimbabwe victoria falls mbano manor hotel3\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/zimbabwe_victoria_falls_mbano_manor_hotel3-1000x800.jpg\" alt=\"zimbabwe victoria falls mbano manor hotel3\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">2. The time is NOW!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We have traveled far and wide all over the country, from the lively town of Livingstone all the way to the hidden National Park of <a href=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/uk\/locations\/kasanka-national-park\/\">Kasanka<\/a> where the yearly fruit-bat-migration happens and we are happy to report: Zambia is ready! Everywhere we went, we encountered friendly people who strive to turn their country into the next big tourism hub of Africa. The lodges and bush camps provide an excellent service, the animals are waiting to be discovered \u2013 and there are plenty!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-120247\" title=\"Kasanka Safari Extension Zambia Bat Migration5\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Kasanka-Safari-Extension-Zambia-Bat-Migration5-1-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Kasanka Safari Extension Zambia Bat Migration5\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">3. The Valley of the Leopard<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Speaking of plenty of animals: If it is the wildlife you are after, you simply HAVE to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/uk\/locations\/luangwa-valley\/\">South Luangwa National Park<\/a> aka. The Valley of the Leopard! It is amongst the best places we have visited to spot the big African cats and what is so nice about it is the fact that you don\u2019t share your sightings with many other safari jeeps. You still get the sense of true Wilderness out here, as you enjoy a sundowner on the banks of the Luangwa river while listening to the hippos laughing in the waters and watching a herd of elephants crossing over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120563 size-large\" title=\"DSC03666\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC03666-scaled-e1709111406845-1123x800.jpg\" alt=\"DSC03666\" width=\"1024\" height=\"729\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">4. Walking safaris<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/uk\/locations\/luangwa-valley\/\">South Luangwa<\/a>, as well as other Zambian National Parks focus on excellent bush walking experiences. A legacy of Zambia\u2019s pioneering conservationists, ambling through lush grass or dusty sandbanks on the trail of a pride of lions is a thrilling experience. And even if you don\u2019t see the animals themselves, the guides or rifle-carrying scouts are excellent at explaining the small things, flora and fauna and tracks that will make the bush come alive for you. A truly awe-inspiring experience!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4067\" title=\"zambia south luangwa walking safari across plains\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/zambia-south-luangwa-walking-safari-across-plains-700x350.jpg\" alt=\"zambia south luangwa walking safari across plains\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">5. Bush Camps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t be fooled: When you hear \u201cbush camps\u201d , you might think of longdrop toilets and bamboo huts \u2013 but Zambian bush camps couldn\u2019t be further from this misconception!\u00a0 Zambia has perfected the bush experience with excellent and comfortable luxury camps nestled deep into the African Wilderness. You will feel like you are living completely off the grid without having to miss out on any comforts you know from home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-120575\" title=\"Kakuli Bush Camp Authentic Zambia44\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kakuli-Bush-Camp-Authentic-Zambia44-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Kakuli Bush Camp Authentic Zambia44\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">6.\u00a0Remote wilderness<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The upside to Zambia\u2019s rough roads and long distances is that this is not like Etosha or <a href=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/uk\/countries\/south-africa\/greater-kruger-national-park\/\">Kruger National Park<\/a> \u2013 people simply can\u2019t get here that easily. But if you simply hop on a plane, you will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring, remote Wilderness which will feel like you have it all to yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3478\" title=\"lower zambezi tusk and mane elephants walking\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lower-zambezi-tusk-and-mane-elephants-walking-700x350.jpg\" alt=\"lower zambezi tusk and mane elephants walking\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">7. It\u2019s one of the safest countries in Africa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), Zambia is one of the safest countries in Africa. In fact, it\u2019s very nearly rated as safe as Great Britain, which we can confirm: We have felt completely save in Zambia wherever we went. People were super-friendly and helpful, but also didn\u2019t invade our space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2667\" title=\"luambe camp sausage tree gesa\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/luambe-camp-sausage-tree-gesa-700x350.jpg\" alt=\"luambe camp sausage tree gesa\" width=\"802\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">8. Night drives in Zambian National Parks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Night drives are a hit and miss but if you do find something at night, it is a thrilling experience \u2013 and it\u2019s something that is just bot allowed in most National Parks in other countries. Go out after the sunset and spot nocturnal animals such as genets and civets, , porcupines, honey-badgers, but also increase your chances of seeing a leopard, hyenas on the prowl or lions making a kill.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-38788\" title=\"zambia south luangwa thebushcampcompany chindeni 24\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zambia-south-luangwa-thebushcampcompany-chindeni-24-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"zambia south luangwa thebushcampcompany chindeni 24\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">9. <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Eco-tourism<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Lower Zambezi National Park was recently listed as the world\u2019s first carbon neutral park, which means that it completely offsets its greenhouse gas emissions generated from tourism activities. The park offers exceptional birdlife, as well as mammal sightings of lion, buffalo, hippo, and monkeys among others. Luambe National Park also received the same status in December 2017. Lucky you: We have some trips scheduled to both parks and can also recommend excellent accommodation and itineraries should these dates not work for you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-119212\" title=\"Chikunto Safari Lodge Zambia South Luangwa10\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Chikunto-Safari-Lodge-Zambia_South-Luangwa10-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Chikunto Safari Lodge Zambia South Luangwa10\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">10. Cultural Immersion and Community Projects<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the unparalleled wildlife and natural landscapes, Zambia offers a profound opportunity for cultural immersion and participation in community projects. Visitors can engage with local communities, learn about traditional Zambian ways of life, and even contribute to sustainable development projects. From witnessing the vibrant ceremonies and festivals that display Zambia&#8217;s rich cultural tapestry to participating in community-based conservation efforts, travelers can enjoy a more meaningful and impactful journey. This aspect of Zambian tourism not only enriches the visitor&#8217;s experience but also supports the empowerment and sustainable development of local communities, making your visit a truly transformative adventure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-119200\" title=\"Chikunto Safari Lodge Zambia South Luangwa6\" src=\"https:\/\/safarifrank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Chikunto-Safari-Lodge-Zambia_South-Luangwa6-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Chikunto Safari Lodge Zambia South Luangwa6\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We see you out there\u2026<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zambia \u2013 what a hidden gem!
