Zambia Safari Guide

For over 25 years, Bradt's Zambia Safari Guide has been widely acknowledged as the best guidebook to this African country, and it is now the only dedicated guide to Zambia's world-renowned safari destinations. Combining in-depth reviews of lodges, camps, and other accommodations (from a stately home to a contemporary woven treehouse), detailed descriptions of safari locations and operators, extensive practical details, local insights, a brand new 40-page color wildlife guide, and curated coverage of the main access points of Lusaka and Livingstone, this is the must-have guidebook for travel planning and exploring the country's wildlife-rich safari regions.

Lying in the heart of the continent, Zambia is deepest, darkest Africa at its most appealing. Many visitors are drawn initially to the majestic Victoria Falls. Others come for the glory of Zambia's stellar national parks: the South Luangwa, the Lower Zambezi, and Kafue. For seasoned safari-goers, Zambia is the home of the walking safari; for adventurous travelers, it is about canoeing past hippos on the Lower Zambezi or diving into a whole new world of freshwater fish in Lake Tanganyika.

Experienced travel writers Chris and Susie McIntyre, both Africa experts with Susie having grown up in Zambia, use their decades of safari experience and in-depth knowledge of the Zambian safari scene to provide accurate, honest, and upbeat descriptions, anecdotes, and advice. To help readers make informed choices, the authors explain where to find top-quality guiding and detail Zambia's top spots for wildlife and wilderness (including GPS coordinates for those who prefer self-drive holidays). They advise on the best walking safaris, plus the silent safaris available in electric vehicles and boats, and suggest how best to combine different safari experiences into a fulfilling itinerary in a country where nearly one-third of the land area is reserved for wildlife.

Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast or an Africa addict, this guide is essential.
