Everything was as good as I expected when I lived there - only better. Saw stacks of wildilfe in the Kafue National Park/Lower Zambezi National Park, with the attendant prolific birdlife. The weather in Zambia is superb in September - warm, sunny, cloudless days and hot - but not the hottest months [October/November] aren't for the faint hearted as it gets VERY hot, particularly in the Zambezi Valley.
We drove around ourselves and found that generally the roads were good and have improved since I left home in 2001.
There has been much investment in the country; the bush camps are 'wild', not like the very 'touristey' operations in Kenya where if something unusual is spotted within 5 minutes suddenly 40 vehicles arrive. The camps are rustic, homely, comfortable and offer good food, ambience and second to none safari guides.
Thoroughly recommended!

Friendly people, chill vibe, excellent wildlife viewing.
Absolutely awesome wildlife, from the ubiquitous impala to the stealthy leopard. Hippos, crocs, birds of all sorts, as well as elephants, rhinos, lions, bush pigs, hyenas, springboks, giraffes, birds... You name it, you can probably see it in Zambia.

My home country and a favorite holiday destination!
Zambia is gorgeous! The people are incredible, the sites are breathtaking, and there is always something new and wonderful to experience. I was born in Zambia, so I am a bit biased. Living in Los Angeles now, it's nice to visit home and to experience things like the Victoria Falls and the South Luangwa. To have a sunset safari over the water, seeing gorgeous animals and enjoying the peacefulness. There's nothing like it!

Zambia, the real Africa.
Zambia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With multiple unique national parks, this country offers wildlife that is just as good if not better than countries like Tanzania or Kenya. Most importantly, Zambia offers something, that these other two don't, privacy. In my 15 years living in Zambia, I have never come across another safari truck, while on a game drive. People are very friendly, and crime is very low making Zambia the most ideal country to visit for safari.

Zambia is not a ''hot'' safari destination which makes it still so wild, natural and beautiful.

Zambia ia mostly untouched by the tourist footprint, and is therefore one of the few places regarded as genuine, true Africa.
