Summary of our Zambian Safaris
Zambia has many treasures in store – some are suitable for both seasoned and new safari travellers, and some are more suitable for those who have been to Africa a number of times and are looking for something more specialist. Whoever you are….Robin Pope Safaris can book a full safari throughout Zambia, staying at the premier National Parks, Livingstone (Victoria Falls) and the lesser known treasures of Zambia, like Shiwa N'gandu. If you prefer to book through an agent and your regular agent does not know the area, we can assist them or if you do not know an African specialist and would like us to recommend on we can do so. However you get here, we believe that you should! Zambia remains one of the most authentic safaris in Africa.
Here are some sample itineraries that will give you an idea of what is on offer and the cost of traveling through Zambia, and if you have specialist interests there are more... contact us.
