DISCOVER ZAMBIA

COVID-19 continues to impact the tourism industry worldwide. Sadly, South Africa itself is a bit unpredictable at the moment due to the restricted countries list that is constantly updated every two weeks. It is causing far too much uncertainty and understandably, nobody is willing to take the risk of booking a holiday to South Africa just yet. Hopefully, this will change very soon and we will be able to welcome some of you wonderful people to South Africa over the festive season or early in 2021.

There are some destinations in Southern Africa that are very accessible and with International borders open, are welcoming guests from all around the world.

One of these countries is amazing Zambia!

We have put together a short overview of this incredible country that showcases all the National Parks that are ready and waiting for you to explore.

If you are concerned about visas, don't fear as visas are being issued on arrival at all main Airports. If you prefer to arrange visas on arrival, this can be done via an e-visa system, but if there is anything you are unsure of, we are here to guide you.

There are a number of airlines like Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, and Kenyan Airways to name a few that are flying direct into Zambia making it very convenient for most of you to reach.

Health screening and COVID-19 protocols - all arriving passengers must have a negative COVID-19 test that has been conducted within 14 days of arriving in Zambia.

Visitors will still need to adhere to the normal regulations of social distancing, wearing face masks, and of course, hand sanitizing.

For those of you who will require a COVID test for your returning flights or for entry back into your country, there are numerous testing sites in Zambia that will get your test results back in no time.

Have a look at our Best of Zambia itinerary that gives you a great indication as to what we can create for you. The options are endless so contact us for more details and let's start planning.

Zambia is waiting for you!!!

ALL AT SEA...

REWILDING AFRICA, ONE PARK AT A TIME...

December 10, 2024
Africa is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary wildlife, but in recent decades, the challenges of habitat loss, poaching, and climate change have cast a shadow over its natural heritage. Despite these obstacles, a wave of conservation success stories is reshaping the narrative and showing the best side of our fabulous continent. From the savannahs of Rwanda to the arid Karoo of South Africa, a remarkable rewilding movement is breathing life back into ecosystems and restoring balance to some of Africa's most treasured national parks and reserves. Let's have a look at some of them...

AN INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY

It's not often our socks are blown off. But when they are, you better believe that what's blown them off is absolutely incredible. And worthy of an entire blog!

UNPACKING CONSERVATION-BASED SAFARIS

By Luke van Wyk • October 30, 2024
The allure of Africa’s wilderness has long been its captivating biodiversity and the raw beauty of its landscapes, drawing visitors from around the globe. However, in recent years, a new trend has emerged as more travellers seek ways to contribute meaningfully to the preservation of these ecosystems. Conservation-based safaris offer an immersive way to experience the African wilderness while actively participating in conservation efforts, bridging the gap between tourism and direct environmental action...

STOP THE MIGRATION MADNESS

September 27, 2024
We just don't do mass tourism. And certainly not the madness we've been seeing coming out of this year's Great Wildebeest Migration in both Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. Frankly, we've been shocked by some of the appalling videos of hundreds of vehicles pursuing hapless animals in their quest to cross rivers so we've come up with a way to stop the migration madness and blatant overtourism by sending you somewhere altogether more humane - the private conservancies on the edges of the Serengeti and Mara, where wildebeest and zebra are left in peace to do what they do and we just sit back and watch without interfering...

SPREADING SUSTAINABLE LOVE

In a world where "sustainability" has become a buzz word used ad nauseum in marketing material, it's sometimes hard to understand whether you're really doing the right thing and properly contributing when planning your next safari. Which is why you need Zafaris on your wing, making sure that no matter where you go, your trip makes a lasting difference and adds to an existing legacy of exceptional work being done across sub-Saharan Africa by some truly inspirational safari brands.

WINE, WINE AND MORE WINE...

August 30, 2024
We have to confess that we just LOVE wine. It's the fuel that keeps us going through stormy winter's days here in our home base of South Africa's Western Cape and the way we beat the heat of summer when Cape Town and its surrounds are soaked in glorious sunshine. This region is a wine lover’s paradise, offering a diverse range of wine regions that are not only rich in flavour but also steeped in history, culture, and innovation. But rather than offer you the same old, same old of usual wine suspects, we've put together this guide to some of the more remote and lesser know vineyards and wine-growing regions that are emerging as superstars of the future...

ALL THE SINGLE GIRLS...

July 29, 2024
With the help of our friends at My Cape Town Curated we're making exploring Cape Town for solo female travellers as easy as pie. Also perfect for groups of ladies who want the inside edge on a different side of the Mother City hardly anyone ever sees, we've been helping founder Nadine Rose put together exceptional (and exclusive) local experiences designed to indulge womanly wanderlust and celebrate the best this beautiful city has to offer...
