Zambia Luxury Safari and Vacations
Wildlife is at your fingertips when you travel through Zambia. A pride of lionesses stalks a herd of zebra as you look on from your safari vehicle. Graceful puku and reedbuck prance through the savannah of South Luangwa National Park. A strong population of leopards occupies this safe and breathtaking African wilderness, making them easily spotted, lounging on trees or walking along grassy paths.
It’s a sight to behold along the Luangwa River, when thousands of colorful southern-carmine bee-eaters swarm the area during breeding season in August-September. Birders delight in spotting rare shoebill stork in the marshy wetlands of Bangweulu.
In the wildlife corridor that runs through the north-central part of Zambia, close to a hundred different mammal species can be spotted. Enchanting Travels has the expertise and local connections required to build you a fantastic bespoke tour, one that explores this amazing spectacle of African wilderness.
Zambia is also considered Africa’s adventure capital. There are walking safaris through the vast floodplain, and night drives through the bush to spot nocturnal creatures on the prowl. Raise the adrenaline bar and go white-water rafting on the Zambezi or speedboat ride through the Kafue River.
The charming city of Livingstone too deserves some time. From there visit the fabulous Victoria Falls, and its Boiling Pot and Devil’s Pool. Wind up your holiday with a luxurious stay on a private island on the Zambezi River. In this tranquil paradise, you can reflect and recharge, deep-dive into the culture and history of Zambia, and perhaps start plotting your next vacation.

“Our travel coordinator, Jeniffer Korir, was fabulous with planning our trip. She listened carefully to what we were interested in and arranged travel, destinations, and activities that aligned with our interests. She did a great job matching our budget and interests to availability of activities, and the destination. She developed a thorough itinerary and advised us on all aspects of the trip down to the when and how much to tip. When our flight was canceled, Jeniffer proactively noticed it and made other arrangements, including adjusting all of our other travel plans. I would highly recommend using enchanting travels for booking once in a lifetime vacations; they are experienced with the destinations and save you lots of time with doing your own research and making your own travel plans. Plus, they are available while you were at your destination to answer questions and communicate plans. We had an amazing vacation!”
