Zambia

Victoria Falls and the Birthplace of the Walking Safari

About This Destination

Zambia does not perform for visitors. It simply exists — vast, patient, and extraordinary. South Luangwa is where the walking safari was born, where the bush speaks a language you learn to read on foot rather than from a vehicle window. The Luangwa River in the dry season is a ribbon of life through an otherwise parched landscape: hippos massed in the shallows, leopards hunting at dusk, and a concentration of wildlife that feels almost unreasonable in its abundance. You begin at Victoria Falls — the largest curtain of falling water on earth, felt before it is heard.
