Treasures of Zambia


Custom Travel | 9 Days
  • Zambia safari excursions by canoe, foot, four-by-four, and helicopter
  • Top-notch camps and lodges, situated for sensational views
  • One of southern Africa’s wildest regions with bountiful wildlife
  • Insightful, personalized encounters with animals, from the Big Five to butterflies
  • Easy extension to majestic Victoria Falls, staying at a splendid camp on the Zambezi River

This rare walking and canoeing safari explores the spectacular scenery, flora, and fauna of Zambia’s South Luangwa Valley, the Lower Zambezi, and Kafue National Park—all based from some of the continent’s most fetching and reposeful camps and small lodges. Alongside skilled safari guides, you’ll roam savannahs and floodplains by foot, open vehicle, boat, and helicopter, enjoying an unusually wide range of active options. There’s ample time for lazing at camp and gazing at African wildlife—elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo, and hundreds of bird species—as it flies, drifts, jaunts, and gallops nearby.

Trip Overview


From the moment I landed, everything was seamless, including all the travel between safari camps—no small task considering there are no real roads in the bush. The camps GeoEx chose were eco-friendly, had great amenities and an extremely knowledgeable staff, and were in prime locations.
