Safari Africana

A Zambia safari gives visitors the chance to see the wild and beautiful country as it truly is. Zambia is an array of forests, savannas, waterfalls and marshland strewn with lakes and world-class wildlife parks. Zambia is home to the South Luangwa National Park, which houses 60 animal species and over 400 bird species. Four-wheel drives are the best way to view the game in this park, which includes lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, hippos, antelopes, baboons and crocodiles to name a few. The Lower Zambezi National Park is more of a river adventure that includes traveling on the north bank of the Zambezi River on canoe. This way, safari goers can view large herds of elephants, hippos, lions, and crocodiles in their natural settings. Birds located in the area include the fish eagle, guinea fowl, trumpeter hornbills and Meyers parrots. Zambia features three distinct seasons that include the cool and dry season from May through August, the rainy season from December through April, and the hot, dry season from September through November. The parks and reserves are often best visited during the dry season in order to avoid closed roads while bird watching and Victoria Falls are best during the rainy season.
Lodging in Zambia includes the Luangwa River Lodge. The lodge boasts all the comforts of a modern luxury hotel with the intimacy of a safari camp, as it caters to only 20 guests at a time. The lodge is sure to please those who enjoy the one on one experience of camping in the wild as well as those who prefer the finer things on their stay in Africa. The Protea Hotel Lusaka Safari Lodge offers guests the convenience of being only 50 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from Lusaka's city center, as well as a hospitable staff. This makes it a great place to say for business as well as leisure travelers. The lodge is designed to blend into the countryside and capture the essence of a safari holiday. With the diverse geographical attractions and variety of wildlife that Zambia has to offer, there is no better place to visit on an African safari.
