Discover Authentic Africa: Guided Safaris & Adventures in Zambia with Outdoors International

Experience the wild heart of Southern Africa with Outdoors International, your expert consulting service for premier guided hunting safaris, exceptional fishing expeditions, and unforgettable wildlife adventures in Zambia. Renowned for its vast, unfenced wilderness areas, iconic wildlife, the legendary Zambezi River, and the birthplace of the walking safari, Zambia offers a truly authentic African experience. We specialize in connecting discerning travelers and sportspersons with the finest vetted safari outfitters, Professional Hunters (PHs), fishing guides, and lodges across the country. Whether you dream of tracking Cape Buffalo in the Luangwa Valley, casting for powerful Tigerfish on the Zambezi, witnessing the spectacle of Victoria Falls, or embarking on an immersive walking safari, we help you plan your perfect Zambian adventure at no extra cost compared to booking direct.

Zambia's rich biodiversity thrives within its expansive National Parks and surrounding Game Management Areas (GMAs). Our experienced consultants possess in-depth knowledge of Zambia's prime safari concessions (like the Luangwa Valley, Kafue Ecosystem, Lower Zambezi, and Bangweulu Swamps), the best seasons for various activities, and the most reputable operators committed to ethical practices and conservation. We help navigate the logistics of planning a remote African safari, ensuring a seamless and rewarding journey.

• Classic Zambian Hunting Safaris: Zambia offers outstanding opportunities for dangerous game and unique plains game species in vast, wild landscapes. We connect hunters with experienced PHs and safari companies for:

  • Dangerous Game: Pursue the formidable Cape Buffalo and the elusive Leopard. Exciting hunts for Hippopotamus and Nile Crocodile are also a Zambian specialty, particularly in the major river systems. (Note: Lion and Elephant hunting quotas are extremely limited or currently closed for international sport hunting; please inquire for the most current status).
  • Premier Plains Game: Zambia is renowned for exceptional quality Sable Antelope and Roan Antelope. It's also the primary destination for unique species like the endemic Kafue Lechwe, Black Lechwe (Bangweulu Swamps), Cookson's Wildebeest, Lichtenstein's Hartebeest, and Puku. Excellent hunting for Kudu, Waterbuck, Bushbuck, Reedbuck, Impala, Warthog, Bushpig, Zebra, and various Duikers is also available.
  • Swamp Specialties: Pursue the elusive Zambezi Sitatunga in challenging wetland habitats like the Bangweulu Swamps.

• Exciting Zambian Fishing Adventures: Cast into legendary African waters for powerful freshwater species. Let us connect you with top fishing lodges and guides for:

  • Thrilling Tigerfish angling on the mighty Zambezi River (including the Upper Zambezi and Lake Kariba sections) and the Kafue River.
  • Targeting various species of Bream (Tilapia), large Vundu Catfish, Nembwe, and other native fish.

• Guided Wingshooting in Zambia: Enhance your safari with traditional bird hunting. Opportunities often exist for Dove, Pigeon, Sandgrouse, Francolin, Spurfowl, Guinea Fowl, and seasonal Waterfowl (ducks, geese) in suitable habitats, typically arranged as part of a larger safari package.

• Unforgettable Zambian Adventure Travel & Wildlife Viewing:

  • World-Class Wildlife Safaris: Experience exceptional game viewing via vehicle, boat, and especially through immersive walking safaris, particularly in South Luangwa National Park ("Valley of the Leopard"). Explore the vast wilderness of Kafue National Park or the riverine beauty of Lower Zambezi National Park.
  • Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya): Witness the awe-inspiring power of "The Smoke that Thunders" from the Zambian side (Livingstone), with opportunities for scenic flights, bungee jumping, gorge swings, and white-water rafting on the Zambezi below the falls.
  • Unique Ecosystem Exploration: Discover the vast Bangweulu Swamps, a critical wetland for birds like the Shoebill Stork and home to the Black Lechwe, or explore the remote Liuwa Plain National Park.
  • Cultural Encounters: Visit local villages and markets to learn about the diverse cultures and traditions of Zambia.

Thank you Outdoors International!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

I couldn't believe we won!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
