Zambia

Zambia is a place close to our hearts, a place we call home. Still off the tourism radars, it is arguably the best place in Africa for a safari, and if you had to ask us to pick one country forever, Zambia is what we would choose. Incredible landscapes and game-viewing, authenticity and fantastic guiding make it a truly unbeatable destination. Follow the great rivers that are the Kafue, Luangwa and Zambezi, revel in the diversity of landscapes, wildlife and cultures, be welcomed by the famous Zambian hospitality, and let this incredible country take you on an inspiring, extraordinary and intellectual journey.

There and back again...

It’s not just us — Zambia is a firm favourite among our guests. We struggle to count how many guests of ours have explored the wilds of Zambia, but it is easy to county how many have every given less than outstanding feedback…. zero! Great guides, wonderful camps, spectacular wildlife viewing…. it is simply a paradise. 
"Beyond happy, could have stayed longer. On reflection, feel minimum 3 nights at a lodge would have been better, but not sure which lodge I would not have wanted to stay at"
"Fantastic. Another piece of my heart stolen. To see Catherine & Robin grow during the trip made it very special. Unforgettable. "
"Ridiculously easy. With Odysseia the passion for the places shines through with hands on knowledge of the places. You know you are in safe hands from the start & everything tailored to your requirements. "
"You have set the bar very high for other companies."
"all of our guides were incredible but i think we connected most with our guide Philemon who stayed with us for 4 days throughout our days at Kaingo and Mwamba and have us an amazingly detailed answer whatever the question"
"since my sister and i have never been on safari before to be given the amazing itinerary that we had made our first adventure so memorable, exciting and to never be forgotten"

Founder’s thoughts…

Zambia is where our co-foudner Andrew grew up, and we feel deeply connected to this special land. It is the perfect safari destination, perfect for those who want to experience magic, perfect for first timers and seasoned safari goers.  Game viewing is spectacular and walking safaris are of superb quality, whether in the Luangwa Valley, Kafue or Lower Zambezi. Canoe and boat safaris are also a must! The big cat and wild dog density is phenomenal and will keep the photographers and nature lovers very happy indeed. 
 
The magical light of the Lower Zambezi will stay with you forever, perhaps catching an elephant or a leopard in its glow. The Luangwa and its iconic ebony groves will take your heart away (even more so if a leopard is found enjoying the evening sun!), the Liuwa plains are one of the continent’s best kept secret, home to the second largest wildebeest migration. In the mighty Kafue, the Busanga Plains steal the show with their bold lion prides, cheetahs and black Lechwe, a perfect complement to a stay in the southern and central parts of the park, far off track and full of wildlife. 
 
The birders and those interested in the curious will also enjoy a visit to the Bangweulu swamps in search of the enigmatic shoebill stork. 
 
Ending or starting the trip with a visit to the Victoria Falls is a must, and the perfect way to ease in or out of a safari. We recommend 10 days to make the most of your time in Zambia!
