Zambia: The Real Africa, Untamed

Zambia makes few concessions to the mainstream. This is a country that has chosen depth over volume - sprawling wilderness areas, small exclusive camps and a walking safari tradition that puts guests on the ground. From the ancient floodplains of the Luangwa Valley to the thundering edge of the Zambezi, Zambia's safari regions are distinct in character yet unified by a sense of genuine, undiluted wilderness.
