Embrace the untamed beauty of Zambia’s wilderness on a solo journey that promises to ignite your senses and transform your perspective on the natural world. Immerse yourself in the mesmerising savannas and wetlands, where every twist and turn in the mighty Zambezi River brings encounters with Africa’s most iconic wildlife. This is not just a safari – it’s an odyssey of self-discovery, where solitude becomes your sanctuary.
Why Should You Go on This Experience?
Be Alone With Nature
Experience authentic African wilderness with fewer tourists. Many of Zambia’s national parks are relatively quiet year-round, so if you’re searching for some personal space in nature, Zambia can deliver.
The Smoke that Thunders
Visit the majestic Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and fill your solo travel Instagram account with some of the best pictures and videos you’ll ever capture.
Get Active
Engage in enriching activities like walking safaris and cultural visits, or face your fears and take the adventurous route with action sports at Victoria Falls.
Best Destinations for Solo Travel in Zambia
Lower Zambezi National Park
If you’re after spectacular sunsets, exhilarating game drives, and some of the world’s last untouched wilderness, choose Lower Zambezi National Park. Here, just across the river from Zimbabwe, you’ll discover exactly why this place is worthy of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As for solo travel, the park’s elephants will make sure you never feel alone.
South Luangwa National Park
With numerous secluded luxury lodges, South Luangwa National Park is arguably Zambia’s finest example of a game reserve. It teems with life, from big cats and Nile crocodiles to grumpy hippopotami and hundreds of bird species, all within sight of the park’s iconic walking safaris.
Livingstone (Victoria Falls)
No trip to Zambia would be complete without a visit to Victoria Falls, one of Earth’s largest cascades and the crown jewel of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Watch as the “Smoke that Thunders” crashes into the gorges below, transforming into the Lower Zambezi River, and take part in a range of adrenaline-inducing activities.
