Across Zambia’s incredible landscapes, adventure awaits at every turn.

In the sprawling Kafue National Park, the Busanga Plains are a predator’s paradise, alive with lions and cheetahs.

With intimate lodges and remote camps, Zambia offers a safari that is as exclusive as it is exhilarating.
The dry winter season between June and November is the best time to visit for game viewing, less foliage and shorter grass and makes for clear sight through the bush. Daytime temperatures are cooler making it more pleasant for walking safaris, however the evenings and early mornings are cold, so extra layers are recommended. As the dry season progresses, temperatures rise, and wildlife congregate around the larger remaining waterholes which makes for excellent game viewing. October is the last month before the rains arrive, so temperatures are at their highest, and game viewing is prolific. November to March is the wet season, the vegetation becomes thick and lush, however many camps close during the wet season as camps become inaccessible. Victoria Falls can be visited all year round, best time for viewing the falls is June to September when it is low to mid flow. Taking a dip in Devil’s Pool is only possible during the drier months of the year, usually between mid-August and mid-January. To see the falls at its most spectacular and when it really lives up to its name as “the smoke that thunders” visit in March and April although views will be obscured from the spray clouds, be prepared to get very wet.
