Ker & Downey’s luxury Zambia safari begins in one of the world’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, South Luangwa National Park. Snaking its way through the center of the park is the mighty Luangwa River, a magnet to one of Africa’s largest concentrations of wildlife and the backdrop for the first stop on your journey. Mchenja Bush Camp represents luxury Zambia at its most refined, with only five octagonal thatched tents and sweeping river views.

From riverside dinners under the stars and views extending for miles around, Mchenja Bush Camp is dedicated to providing guests the utmost comfort amid the untouched wilderness of South Luangwa National Park. The park hosts very few visitors, thus preserving its pristine condition and limiting the guest-to-wildlife ratio for more secluded and personalized safari experiences. The now famous walking safari originated in this park and is still one of the best ways to experience South Luangwa’s pristine wilderness first-hand, walking among the brush to view amazing animals like zebra, leopard, lion, and elephants amid the immense scope of wilderness.

Whether setting out on walking safaris or guided game drives, here you will find an intimate South Luangwa safari experience without the interruption of other visitors. For the adventurous, an evening has been set aside for you to experience a thrilling sleepout under the stars of the Liwu Riverbed.

Your discovery of luxury Zambia continues within South Luangwa at Chinzombo Camp, a place where modern architecture and untouched nature coincide to the utmost pleasure. From your private deck, discover the true meaning of luxury in the bush as elephants saunter by your refreshing plunge pool and giraffes sip from the river’s waters just beyond your open-plan villa.

While not embarking on game drives and walking safaris into the property’s 60-acres of private land, indulge in plenteous spa, yoga, and fitness amenities available at your fingertips.

The final destination on your luxury Zambia safari rests within Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia’s lesser-known, untapped reservoir of absolute wilderness. At the intersection of the Zambezi and Mushika Rivers on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe stands your wilderness haven of Anabezi Luxury Tented Camp, a rare place where luxury meets rustic authenticity. Anabezi is completely integrated with the wild, with animals wandering freely around the grounds and offering guests a true sense of isolation and epic adventure.

Craft your own safari adventures during your final days in Zambia. Custom game viewing vehicles and boats, as well as knowledgeable and experienced guides, provide unforgettable safari excursions by both land and water. See the popular enigmatic hippos while boating along the Zambezi, or participate some of the most spectacular fresh water sport fishing in the world. No matter the activity, guests will appreciate the up-close-and-personal encounters with the area’s diverse wildlife, including eland, antelope, zebra, buffalo, kudu, genet, mongoose, hyena, ape, baboon, lion, leopard, warthog, honey badger, and approximately 500 species of birds, among others.

While game viewing is extensive by both land and water, you won’t have to travel far to experience it when lions frequently lurk past your private deck and elephants greet you on your morning walk to breakfast. Animals wander freely around and through the grounds. Untouched, unhurried, and unforgettable: this is luxury Zambia at its best.
