While most people come here for the once-in-a-lifetime wildlife, there is so much more to be amazed by in this beautiful part of the world. From 4WDing to authentic bush camps, natural wonders and culinary treats (and shocks), the old saying really does sum up this bewildering land – ‘This is Africa’.
Our favourite resorts are:
You’re treated like family at Lion Sands Game Reserve, owned by the More family for four generations. Set along the banks of the Sabie River and attracting abundant “big five” wildlife from Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park, Lion Sands has four luxurious lodges: River Lodge, Ivory Lodge, Tinga Lodge, and Narina Lodge. To get above the bush, reserve one of the three Treehouse experiences. Enjoy daily game drives, nature walks, a hippo tour, and a bush dinner with stargazing. Visit the local Huntington village to meet the children and teachers of Henna and Jabez preschools, via Lion Sands’ community outreach program.
Thorntree River Lodge promises an iconic stay on the banks of the Zambezi River. Indulge in the wildly luxurious and be guided by the best as you embark on an unforgettable journey in Zambia. For those eager to explore from above, opt for a breathtaking helicopter ride over the mighty Victoria Falls!
