Zambia has Victoria Falls, the wild Zambezi River, abundant wildlife and untamed wilderness – all in one friendly country. This large country (the size of France) has given nearly one-third of its land to national parks and reserves – and yet it’s barely on the radar of many travellers. And although the raw beauty of Zambia’s vast reserves has long made them a favourite for safari connoisseurs, they don’t attract the crowds that cluster around sightings in the better-known parks in Africa – in fact, the only bustle you’re likely to find is at the spectacular Victoria Falls.
The best time to visit Zambia is during the dry season which runs from May to October. These months are perfect for wildlife viewing and offer pleasant daytime temperatures – although September and October can get extremely hot. Zambia has a sub-tropical climate and has two very specific seasons, the dry months during winter and the rainy season that occurs in summer. The rainy season from December to April is commonly called the Green Season because the landscape is lush, thick and verdant at this time. This makes game viewing a bit more challenging as the vegetation can be dense, plus many animals move away from dry-season water sources.
On our trip, Josh and Saffa Tours put together an amazing itinerary, based on what we were into, and they provided us with an absolutely incredible trip. My wife and I love to travel, and have worked with many groups such as Saffa Tours; this trip was, by far, our favorite tour, and Saffa was the best guide group we’ve ever used.

We cannot thank Saffa Tours enough for making our precious time in the Cape the best it could be. I cannot recommend Josh and his company Saffa Tours enough, as they made our time in South Africa in the Cape absolutely amazing and we were looking forward to the holiday because of the great preparation.

Absolutely brilliant trip to Cape Town and around the Western Cape with Josh and the Saffa team. Perfectly and thoughtfully organised, full of insight and fun. Could not recommend more!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. Well worth the cost visiting in the Cape area where there are so many things to do. Lightyears ahead of what a larger tour group would be able to put together. From small details to adjusting the daily itinerary on the fly.

Never have I encountered such organization, such fire for exploration - to show and to teach, and such willingness to adapt the bespoke tours and plans offered at any moment. We felt understood, we felt appreciated, and we felt that our best interests were always put first.

Amazing tour company. Josh helped plan our itinerary around the activities we wanted to do. Due to weather conditions a couple of the activities were cancelled but there were alternatives ready straight away. Rich was our guide and he was a joy to be around. Highly recommend!
