ITINERARY INSPIRATION
From the sheer force and magnificence of Victoria Falls to the serenity of a balloon flight over the floodplains of Kafue, our destination specialists will prepare the itinerary of a lifetime.
BIG GAME TO HUGE FALLS
From conventional game drives to the thrills of seeing big game on foot, Zambia offers an incomparable choice of safari experiences. And after the wildlife, one of Africa’s biggest draws – the Victoria Falls – awaits.
In the world-renowned South Luangwa National Park you’ll be presented with an endless number of photo opportunities as you encounter lion, hippo, elephant, buffalo and endemic species like Cookson’s wildebeest and Thorneycroft’s giraffe. Not to mention a dazzling array of birds; from prehistoric-looking storks to colonies of carmine bee-eaters.
South Luangwa is Zambia’s premier safari destination, but the country has so much more to offer the intrepid traveller. Ask one of our experts to plan your tailor-made holiday and you could find yourself in a hot air balloon flying over the floodplains of Kafue – one of Africa’s oldest game reserves. Or canoeing amongst hippos and crocodiles in the Lower Zambezi.
We can recommend the best camps and lodges for game drives, tiger fishing or tracking leopard. But to connect with the wild on an even more intimate level, why not try a walking safari – one of the most exhilarating safari experiences. You’ll be accompanied by a highly experienced wildlife guide whose expertise on the region will give you a deeper insight into life in the bush. Zambia has some of the most knowledgeable and instructive guides in Southern Africa, and our specialists know them personally.
Let us plan your trip and your Zambian adventure could end (or start) with a sunset river cruise along the mighty cascades of the Victoria Falls – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
