the night drive
WHEN DARKNESS FALLS, ANOTHER WORLD COMES TO LIFE IN THE BUSH
Cats head out to hunt, hyenas emerge with empty stomachs, and civets and genets scurry about. This is what makes night drives so special: the chance to see what happens after dark in true wilderness. These drives are kept short - night is also a time to allow nature to take its course unbothered, but you will have the opportunity to see some exceptional moments under the stars on your way back to camp.
Walking Safari
Zambia is widely considered the birthplace of the walking safari, pioneered by legendary conservationist Norman Carr. Herein lies the opportunity to get out of the vehicle and explore the bush on foot, accompanied by a top-level professional guide and an armed National Parks Wildlife Officer. This unique and exhilarating safari provides insight into the complex ecosystem of the bush, allowing you to expand your knowledge and meet some of the smaller creatures often missed on a drive. Zambia is one of only a handful of destinations where walking safaris are permitted in national parks without private concessions.
by water
water safari
Cruising down the Zambezi river allows you to experience Lower Zambezi from a different perspective. At eye level with the rich aquatic ecosystem, watch elephants bath and swim from island to island, G&T in hand, while the sun sets behind the escarpment. You’ll also spot buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, and antelope perched on the river bank floating in our custom-fitted pontoon boats.
fishing
For those in pursuit of the legendary african tigerfish, the Zambezi River rarely disappoints. Experienced fishermen and novices alike will enjoy heading out on an afternoon fishing trip with one of our seasoned coxswains, full of expert advice and an unparalleled knowledge of this stretch of the river. While we provide all the necessary rods and tackle for Spinner and Lure fishing, anglers who specialize in Fly should bring their own equipment.
Canoeing
Paddle the winding waterways of the channels, pausing for hippos and watching elephants. The Zambezi River is one of Africa’s top canoeing safari destinations, where you can enjoy the peacefulness of the water while observing its vibrant wildlife. All canoeing activities are with an experienced, certified professional guide.
Birding
THE GENTLE HOOTING OF GROUND HORNBILLS ECHOES THROUGH THE FOREST DAILY IN THIS BIRDING PARADISE HOME TO OVER 350 SPECIES OF FEATHERED FRIENDS
Common bird sightings in Lower Zambezi include a wide array of storks, herons, bee-eaters, owls, eagles, and kingfishers to name a few. You don’t need to be an ornithologist to appreciate the incredible beauty of our bird life, but we do recommend binoculars for best viewing. If you are an experienced birder let us know so we can be sure to pair you with one of our expert birding guides.
The Game Drive
A CLASSIC SAFARI STAPLE, THE GAME DRIVE IS YOUR GATEWAY TO THE WILD
Roam the forests where elephants eat from the trees, cruise across the plains with massive herds of buffalo, and catch a glimpse of leopards moving through the grass in a customized open game viewer. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are timed when wildlife is most active, and some of the animals you can expect to see include elephants, buffalo, zebra, leopards, lions, painted dogs (also called wild dogs), kudu, waterbuck, and hippos along with a vast array of other species.
Photographic Safari
WHETHER YOU’RE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER OR A PHOTO TOUR LEADER, ANABEZI PROVIDES A SUPERB BACKDROP FOR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

We are able to modify our game viewers for photographers and provide custom beanbags if needed.
