Our clients returning from high season 2011 safaris to Zambia were unanimously blown away. Many had combination itineraries with Botswana, and they enjoyed it all but Zambia stood above for the level of adventure with diverse activities, camp intimacy and personalized guiding. Game viewing was shockingly good as well, especially for leopards and elephants, while the night drives are some of the most productive on the continent allowing for a full diversity of species to be sighted.

Zambia remains the premier location for walking safaris while the Zambezi River delivers exceptional water safari activities with canoeing and boat safaris. In high season Zambia continues to be a very good value compared to Botswana and South Africa’s prime safari areas. Based on all this I decided to sit down and craft out an ideal Zambia safari deal to offer in 2012.

I have developed an itinerary that emphasizes all of the best features of a Zambia safari. Old Mondoro Camp in Lower Zambezi National Park has become a real gem in our client itineraries that has garnered rave reviews so that was a must include. In South Luangwa we have a very special relationship with The Bushcamp Company and I worked closely with them to create this special safari offering. The result is an extraordinary Zambia Exploration Safari offered exclusively by The Wild Source and built around the following:

Outstanding and Flexible Guiding:
Old Mondoro offers 3 guides for just a maximum of 8 guests ensuring that all activities are on offer at all times – very unique! In South Luangwa we are including a private guide and vehicle throughout the 8 nights there, allowing guests to divide time between walking and game drives exactly how they want it.

Diversity of Activites:
Game drives, night drives, walking, canoeing, boat safaris, fishing, and cultural visits are all available on this itinerary. However, unlike most safaris where you have to coordinate activity opportunities according to the demand of other guests you have the dedicated guiding to do what activity you prefer at all times on this itinerary (water activities are offered in Lower Zambezi not in South Luangwa).

Intimate Bushcamps:
Each year it seems safari camps get larger and more elaborate. On this itinerary 10 of the 11 safari nights are in camps comprised of just 4 tents/chalets. The accommodation is all very comfortable but in tune with the bush and due to the size the personal service is sensational.

Serious Value:
The deal part of this equation is pricing was done with 2 free nights and also includes a complimentary private guide for 8 nights which is an additional $2,000 value to greatly enhance the safari experience. For serious game viewing this is likely our best high season quality to value deal ever.

We of course continue to specialize in custom itineraries and even this itinerary can be modified to fit individual client needs but it is one exceptional sample of what we can offer in Zambia.
