If you seek an off-the-beaten-path experience in Africa look no further than Zambia. Here you will find remote wilderness, the second-largest wildebeest migration, and powerful Victoria Falls—or Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning "the smoke that thunders”. 

One of our favorite properties in Zambia is Time + Tide’s King Lewanika, the only permanent lodge, located within Liuwa Plain National Park. Thanks to its centennial protection, this region is one of Africa's best-kept secrets and provides a truly authentic safari experience. As the African rains arrive in the north, the vast plains turn into wetlands, attracting myriad wildlife. This includes wildebeest as they journey south to calve near the lodge. This region is also known for its huge packs of hyenas—sometimes 60 in number! 

One of the largest concentrations of elephants and lions call Kafue National Park home. In the Lower Zambezi Valley, along the Chongwe River, you find activities such as tiger fishing, sleeping under the stars, and wildlife hides for a ground-level vantage—a photographer's dream.

From historic Livingstone, the former capital to interior design mecca Lusaka, the current capital, there are plenty of opportunities to round out your time. Allow TS to take you on the road less traveled for an authentic safari experience ...
