Your Zambia safari starts here

With more than two decades of experience in Zambia, The Zambia Safari Company offers a different way to discover one of Africa’s great wilderness destinations. Founded by safari specialist Paul, we’ve explored the country’s parks, rivers and remote corners first-hand, building an understanding of Zambia that goes far beyond what you’ll find in a guidebook.

From classic wildlife safaris to walking, canoeing, fishing and expedition journeys, our itineraries are built around the places and experiences that make Zambia special. Whether you choose one of our carefully curated safaris or would like to create something entirely your own, you’ll have independent advice and expert local support throughout your journey.
