A safari in Zambia is unlike any other you'll find. You will explore the world-famous South Luangwa National Park, one of Africa's most popular destinations for wildlife viewing and guided tours. There are not many camps in this iconic park that offer accommodations right on top of the riverbank!

The area is known as the birthplace of walking safaris and it's one of few parks in Africa that allows night safaris. In order to get a true feel for this magical park, participate in an evening Safari which will take you through some areas where only humans with flashlights are able to go at night time because they're so dark!

Start your day with a game safari or walk, before riding the short distance to Chipata. Zambian people are very friendly and welcoming; you'll see that for yourself when they greet you as soon as we get there on our bikes!

Imagine how you would feel after a long day of riding.

Next is Nata. Botswana is an African country that has over 40 national parks and game reserves.
