Discover Zambia

Journey through South Luangwa’s wilderness and Victoria Falls’ iconic landscapes

Two unforgettable experiences crafted into one epic trip

Fly to Lusaka, Zambia’s capital, before taking a picturesque flight to South Luangwa National Park. This wildlife sanctuary, dubbed one of the world’s best, is home to more than 60 mammal species and 400 bird species. Take a walking safari into the bush to get closer to the wildlife, or look for the Park’s iconic leopards. Travel to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls after your safari. There are various viewing spots, but those seeking an adrenaline rush might try swimming in the Devil’s Pool, which is located right on the edge of the 100-meter-high falls.
