Remote Camps: The Bushcamp Company
The Bushcamp Company operates six small, remote camps in South Luangwa National Park with no mains electricity, bucket showers under the trees, and a maximum of 12 guests per camp. The guides are among the best in Africa. The walking safaris between camps are the best way to experience the Luangwa Valley.
Lower Zambezi: Canoeing with Hippos

Victoria Falls: Swimming in Devil’s Pool
TL;DR – There’s a natural rock pool at the very lip of Victoria Falls where you can swim and peer over the edge into a 100-meter drop. It’s only accessible during the dry season, it’s guided, and it’s one of the most surreal experiences in Africa. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
