Zambia
Zambia never advertises; it simply opens the door and lets the wild speak for itself.
South Luangwa invented the walking safari and still does it better than anywhere else on earth.
The Lower Zambezi slides past your canoe in slow, muscular silence while elephants shower on the opposite bank.
In November, Kasanka becomes the stage for the greatest mammal migration most people have never heard of: eight million straw-coloured fruit bats turning the sky into living velvet.
Best Time To Visit:
June to October for perfect walking weather.
November to April for the emerald season and the bats.
Moments We Live For:
Following fresh leopard tracks at dawn with only the sound of your own heart.
Canoeing so close to a bull elephant you can see the mud cracking on his skin.
Standing beneath a fever-tree as millions of bats lift off and the sky forgets it was ever blue.
