Safari accommodations in Zambia

Zambia's general accommodation infrastructure isn't sophisticated.

Nkwali loungeThe safari industry however, is small but specialised and the safari accommodations compare very favourably with those found in Botswana and Zimbabwe - this applies as much to the lodges as it does to the seasonal bush camps and the few mobile-tented safaris that operate in the Luangwa, Kafue and Zambezi regions.

Experience says that you're far more likely to receive better service from a remote bushcamp of 10 years standing in Zambia, Zimbabwe or Botswana than Victoria Falls Hotel, Meikles Hotel, or the Mount Nelson - of course that's comparing apples with pears...
