Zambia has some of the highest
species-concentrations on the continent and some of the most beautiful and wild birding
destinations to get your ticks!
A fascinating way to spot the
birds of the Zambezi area is on a
Canoeing Safari. Drift down with the current with binoculars and checklist in hand and take
it all in. Lots of excellent game sightings too. Choose from a tranquil upper Zambezi
cruise just above the Victoria Falls or a wilder
adventure paddle down the
lower Zambezi with game parks on either side of the river.
One of
Africa's most prized birding spots is
Lochinvar National Park, a small 450km2 park on the Kafue
floodplains which has 428 known species - that's almost a different bird for every square
kilometre!
Try one of Zambia's legendary
Walking Safaris in the main parks. All you take is your binoculars,
and your guide will ensure your safety and comfort as you spot many of Zambia's unique
species.
Most of the game lodges in
Zambia have expert guides who are skilled bird spotters and who will be happy to take you
on walks or drives through the bush. See
game lodges for bookings.
