Zambia Safari Guide : Luangwa Valley . Lower Zambezi . Victoria Falls

For over 25 years, Bradt's Zambia Safari Guide has been widely acknowledged as the best guidebook to this African country, and it is now the only dedicated guide to Zambia's world-renowned safari destinations.

Combining in-depth reviews of lodges, camps and other accommodation (from a stately home to a contemporary woven treehouse), detailed descriptions of safari locations and operators, extensive practical details, and local insights, this is the 'must-have' guidebook to travel planning and exploring the country's wildlife-rich safari regions. The guide also features a brand new 48-page colour wildlife guide and curated coverage of the main access points of Lusaka and Livingstone.

Lying in the heart of the continent, Zambia is deepest, darkest Africa at its most appealing. Many visitors are drawn initially to the majestic Victoria Falls, while others come for the glory of Zambia's stellar national parks: the South Luangwa, the Lower Zambezi and Kafue. For seasoned safari goers, Zambia is the home of the walking safari; for adventurous travellers, it's about canoeing past hippos on the Lower Zambezi or diving into a whole new world of freshwater fish in Lake Tanganyika.

Experienced travel writers Chris and Susie McIntyre—both Africa experts, with Susie having grown up in Zambia—use their decades of safari experience and in-depth knowledge of the Zambian safari scene to provide accurate, honest and upbeat descriptions, anecdotes and advice. They explain where to find top-quality guiding, detail Zambia's top spots for wildlife and wilderness (including GPS co-ordinates for self-drive holidays), advise on the best walking safaris and 'silent safaris' in electric vehicles and boats, and suggest how to combine different safari experiences into a fulfilling itinerary in a country where nearly one-third of the land area is reserved for wildlife. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, Africa addict, escapist seeking wilderness or a family craving adventure—and whether you prefer a local operator or independent travel—this is the perfect travel companion.
