Zambia wildlife safari vacation

Planet

As with all of our luxury vacations, this itinerary has been crafted to ensure that it positively effects the local communities and environments visited.

This itinerary includes trips to some of Zambia's protected areas of natural beauty, including national parks. By visiting these sites (all entrance fees are included in your luxury tour), you are supporting the preservation and conservation of these areas, and indicating to authorities that tourists are interested in protecting Zambia's incredible natural environments. This, in turn, provides more funding for park rangers and puts more patrols on the ground, which deters and stops poaching.

Whilst out on safari, please ensure that you don’t leave any litter – everything you carry in, you must carry out. Aside from the environmental damage, litter can be harmful to the wildlife.

We also make a special effort to recommend accommodation providers which have responsible and sustainable initiatives. For example, the Time + Tide group contributes an incredible US$300,000 to conservation and community projects every year, committed to the conservation of wildlife in Zambia.

People

We guarantee that all the local guides referred to in this itinerary are paid a fair wage. We believe that using local guides is important, as it helps generate local incomes and creates jobs, plus it offers a more authentic travel experience for travelers to Zambia.

We also recommend independent local hotels, lodges, guesthouses and campsites, rather than international chain hotels, which helps support local communities and allows you to experience true Zambian hospitality. For example, the Time + Tide group supports various community projects including funding for local schools, healthcare and a scholarship programme.

This luxury Zambia wildlife vacation includes the option for cultural experiences learning about local traditions with trips to local villages, such as Kawaza, where you can buy authentic souvenirs made by local people. We believe getting to know the destination and the people who live there means that you will have a more authentic and meaningful travel experience.
