Remote Safaris

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

For those seeking true escape, Zambia offers secluded safaris that immerse you in its untouched wilderness. These remote locations allow for solitude and reflection – without the distractions of modern life – while still providing the incredible wildlife and natural beauty that make Zambia so special.

Why Should You Go on This Experience?

Complete Isolation

Zambia’s remote safaris offer the ultimate in isolation, allowing you to disconnect from the outside world and experience the African wilderness at its most raw and pristine.

Authentic Experience

Away from the crowds, you’ll have an authentic safari experience, exploring regions that few people have seen, with a focus on private, personalised service. There’s no need to compromise on comfort or luxury.

Unspoiled Wilderness

The remoteness of some regions means you’ll be surrounded by unspoiled landscapes, encountering wildlife in their natural environment without the influence of human development. Some parts of Zambia are natural barriers to human movement, making them critical habitats for some incredible species.

Tranquil Escape

For those who need time to relax, reflect, and recharge, Zambia’s secluded lodges provide a serene setting, with few distractions and unparalleled peace. You’ll need your rest if you plan to embark on early morning game drives.

Exclusive Wildlife Encounters

In remote areas, wildlife sightings are often more intimate, as the lack of other tourists allows for more exclusive and personal encounters with the animals. That means more time for photography and relaxation, and less time dealing with noise and distractions.

Best Destinations for Remoteness & Isolation in Zambia

North Luangwa National Park

North Luangwa is one of the most remote national parks in Zambia, offering isolated safaris with a focus on walking and fly-in safaris for a truly exclusive experience. It’s also one of the few places in Zambia where you can see rhinoceros.

Lower Zambezi National Park

With its private and unspoiled wilderness, Lower Zambezi National Park is perfect for those looking to explore a secluded environment while still enjoying great wildlife sightings. Make sure you make time for the park’s world-famous sunsets and enjoy sundowners as the light fades over the Zambezi River.

Kafue National Park

Kafue’s vast and unvisited areas provide the ideal destination for those seeking solitude, offering a genuine wilderness experience without the crowds. Because of its sheer size, you’re likely to have wildlife sightings all to yourself.

Five Tips for Remoteness & Isolation Safaris

1. Opt for Fly-in Safaris

For the most remote destinations, fly-in safaris are often the most convenient way to access these secluded areas.

2. Be Self-Sufficient

Pack everything you may need for the trip, as remote areas may have limited facilities. Having said that, luxury lodges will do whatever it takes to keep you comfortable.

3. Stay Longer

To fully disconnect and immerse yourself in the wilderness, consider extending your stay for a more profound and peaceful experience.

4. Embrace the Silence

The remoteness of Zambia’s wilderness means quieter, more peaceful surroundings. Take time to enjoy the silence and connect with nature.

5. Respect the Environment

In isolated locations, it’s especially important to practice responsible travel, respecting both the wildlife and local communities.
