Zambia: A lush, subtropical wilderness country with loads of off-the-beaten-track charm. Zambia has a number of excellent game reserves and is known for her warm and friendly people. Zambia is a republic in south central Africa. It borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Zambia's capital and largest city is Lusaka. Zambia is land of the legendary African walking safari, earth's biggest waterfall, Victoria Falls, the wild Zambezi River, breath-taking lakes and wetlands, a profusion of birds, abundant wildlife, and raw, pulsating wilderness, all in one friendly country; Real Africa at its best. Acknowledged as one of the safest countries in the world to visit, Zambia's people live in peace and harmony.
 
History & Background: A number of Bantu tribes existed in the area when Portuguese and English traders and missionaries arrived in Zambia in the 19th century. Britain annexed most of Zambia in 1890 and it became known as Northern Rhodesia. Vast copper deposits were discovered, but little was left for the native Zambians after independence in 1963. The country was plagued by all kinds of economic and political instability, which mostly ended when Frederick Chiluba became president in 1991.

Scheduled and Tailor – Made Safaris: Zambia is the Real Africa safari destination. If you want to get away from the hoards of tourists and experience a true African Safari then Zambia is the country. Below you will find numerous small group, maximum 10 client safaris that Jenman African Safaris runs in and around Zambia. You can join one of our scheduled camping or lodge safaris or if you’d like, one of our experienced travel consultants can tailor – make a private safari to meet your departure date, time period, group size and budget. A great option is our Real African Adventure that goes to all the main safari areas in Zambia or you might be interested in one of our packages into Victoria Falls.

Best Game Viewing Months: Zambia gets its rains in the summer months of December through to April when some of the roads into various parks become impassable. May through to September is the best time of year to go on safari when the weather is cool and dry. October and November are hotter but still dry so you can still go on safari as long as you don’t mind the heat. One of the main parks that people are interested in going to is the South Luangwa with the months of June, July, November and December being a good for game viewing and August through to October being excellent. In North Luangwa the months of June to August are good for game viewing and September and October are excellent for game viewing. Victoria Falls is at its fullest in January through to April but the better time to see the falls is August through to December as it’s clearer to see the Victoria Falls with less water being thrown up in the air. In the lower Zambezi the rainy season from mid-November to mid-March can make some roads impassable. Most of the walking and canoe safaris run throughout the year as you usually only have short rain showers in the afternoon followed by good weather afterwards. Some of the Lodges close during the rainy season in this area.
