Accommodation in Zambia
Although some people only associate Zambia with the majestic Victoria Falls, the country is home to several excellent national parks, wilder and less crowded, that attract a wide variety of animals, courtesy of a network of perennial rivers. Most of the intimate safari lodges and tented camps are situated in or very near to the national parks. Many are owner-run, highly individual and offer a personal, unique safari experience.
Here are just a few of our favourite Zambian safari camps and lodges we've personally visited.
