Zambia Holidays
Known as the home of the walking safari, Zambia invites you to experience the bush in its purest form. Follow lion tracks through the dust at dawn, pause at waterholes where elephants gather and end the day with your feet in the Zambezi.
Zambia offers a safari defined by intimacy and authenticity. To many, it represents the essence of wild Africa, a place where exploration on foot brings the landscape closer.
From the vast Liuwa Plain and the rich valleys of South Luangwa to the spray of Victoria Falls, a walking safari in Zambia captures the spirit of adventure and the quiet rewards of time in nature.

Illona Cross
Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.
