Active Adventure Safaris

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0200

Active Adventures in Zambia
Many of our guests love the classic safari, but often wish for a chance to stretch their legs and enjoy adventure beyond the vehicle. Zambia offers the perfect backdrop: vast landscapes, open plains, and scenic trails that are ideal for mountain biking.

Safari Meets Mountain Bike
With our new combination, you’ll experience wildlife and nature not only from the comfort of a 4x4 but also up close on two wheels. In the truest sense, you will ride through Zambia – varied, active, and deeply immersive.

Perfect for Small Groups and Families
This experience is especially suited for travelers who want to blend safari with sport. Whether with friends or family, you choose your preferred dates, and we’ll craft your tailor-made journey.

Liuwa Safari

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0200

Visit with us the Kuomboka Ceremony

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0200

The Kuomboka ceremony is celebrated by the Lozi community in western Zambia. The term "Kuomboka" means "to rise from the water to dry land" in Silozi. This ceremony marks the annual move of the King of the Lozi, the Litunga, and his court from the flooded Barotse Plain (Zambezi River) to higher land.

The centerpiece of the ritual is the magnificent journey of the Litunga in an elaborately carved, huge royal barge, the Nalikwanda, accompanied by around 80 rowers. The festive procession is accompanied by drums, songs and dances and attracts many spectators from near and far.

Tens of thousands of spectators (the estimate in 2024 was around 200,000 to 250,000 spectators) await the king on the opposite bank - all in their colorful costumes - men, women and children!

We use motorized rafts to escape the crowds. We also have more freedom of movement on the water to find the best places. We travel with the Lozi king in the boats to his final destination!

Afterwards we visit Liuwa National Park, which is only about 100 km away. Around 55,000 wildebeest are gathered on the Liuwa plain at this time. The predators (lions, hyena dogs and hyenas) are also present. The bird life is also extremely diverse at this time. We spend 3 nights in this natural paradise.

New Safari Itineraries for 2025

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200

For the next safari season we have created new itineraries to focus on Kafue National Park, which in our opinion has so much improved since African Parks took over the managment. We are also planning a special camping safari to the big migrations of the bats in Kasanka National Park and the Wildebeest Migration in Liuwa Plains National Park happening every year in October and November
