Wildlife

Where Zambia's greatest safari moments unfold.

Follow ancient game trails on foot, venture out on game drives or watch wildlife gather at the water's edge. From South Luangwa National Park to the remote wilderness of Lolelunga Private Reserve and the Lower Zambezi, every landscape reveals the wild in its own way.

Chichele Presidential · Puku Ridge · Lolebezi

Lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo move through the valleys that surround the lodges — the great game of Africa, at home in two of the continent's finest national parks.

Drives leave camp in the soft light of early morning and again as the day cools, guided by people who know each territory, each crossing and each season intimately.

Game Drives

Chichele Presidential · Puku Ridge · Lolebezi · Lolelunga Private Reserve

Each destination offers its own interpretation of the classic safari. From the floodplains of South Luangwa National Park to the remote landscapes of Lolelunga and the wildlife-rich Lower Zambezi, every drive is shaped by the season, the terrain and the animals that call it home.

Night drives reveal a world rarely seen, where predators begin to move and the sounds of the bush take on a different character.

Walking Safaris

Chichele Presidential · Puku Ridge · Lolebezi · Lolelunga Private Reserve

The walking safari was born in Zambia, and stepping into the bush on foot remains the purest way to meet it. With an expert armed guide leading the way, the wilderness opens at eye level — tracks, birdsong and the small details a vehicle passes by.

Walks are paced gently and shaped around what the bush is doing, from short morning excursions to a full immersion in the wild.
