US Tour Operator Launches Zambia Safari & Victoria Falls Travel Tours In Africa

AfricanMecca, Africa's top specialist safari and tour operator, announced the addition of a comprehensive Zambia safari and Victoria Falls travel programs to its portfolio, designed using Safari Tier(TM) Ratings to appeal to three distinct Africa travel market segments of varying budgets and travel preferences. This is especially significant under the current economic mood in which travelers are looking to escape from it all to more pristine, low environmental impact safari destinations with few numbers of visitors, while receiving superb experience and value for the money paid.

"Zambia delivers an authentic wildlife experience without the crowds in Southern Africa," says Raza Visram, AfricanMecca's Planning Director. "Our agents and clients are looking to us to offer consistent high quality of knowledge, guidance and service as we currently do in East Africa," adds Visram.

The several months of inspections of Zambia's wildlife parks, its safari camps, lodges and hotels by AfricanMecca will help travelers receive factual, personal experiences, professional advice, proven itineraries aided by online videos, photos and information available through its website and brochure, in addition to partnering with solid and world renowned Zambia safari camps and lodges.

"AfricanMecca as a tour operator have invested more heavily in time, effort and resources in getting to know Zambia than any other in the US that I can think of in recent times," said Christina Carr of Norman Carr Safari Camps in South Luangwa, Zambia.

At the end of their tour, travelers can spend time volunteering at local community projects. The areas toured in Zambia include the best wildlife national parks and world wonders of South Luangwa, Kafue, Lower Zambezi, North Luangwa and Victoria Falls.

Safari in Zambia

Zambia remains to this day a beautiful uncommercial backwater, where family owned safari companies continue to operate small, intimate camps in remote and beautiful reserves.

Safari here is unusually outdoorsy and involving, often including a high quotient of walking. Real safari for real safari people.

The primary area is the wonderful South Luangwa and the more remote North Luangwa. To the west is Kafue, a huge and remote wilderness, whilst to the south Lower Zambezi is a superb location for canoe safari in particular. Not to forget the Victoria Falls at Livingstone.

Take a look at our list of the best lodges in the country.
