Discover Lesser-known Zambia

If you’re looking to explore Zambia’s quieter corners with expert guidance and plenty of time in the wild, this sample itinerary gives you a real sense of two very different parks. Enjoy days filled with varied wildlife, a strong focus on conservation and the comfort of characterful camps.

Your first stop is Lower Zambezi, where four nights on Chula Island place you within easy reach of some of the region’s most rewarding wildlife experiences. Elephants are part of daily life here, and the island currently supports several leopards, including cubs, along with buffalo and plains game. With both land- and water-based activities available, you spend your days crossing between island and mainland in search of predators, birdlife and the quieter corners of the park.

From here, your journey continues northwest to Kafue, one of Africa’s largest and least-visited parks. Four nights at Ntemwa-Busanga Camp take you out onto the plains, where wide horizons and the feeling of space set the tone. This is where you come for true remoteness: sightings often happen with no other vehicles in view. You could possibly spot lions, leopards, wild dogs and cheetahs, and drives often focus on tracking these prowling predators across the open grasslands.
