Zambia is a vast country with a huge amount of land dedicated to conservation of the landscapes and wildlife. Home to one of the seven wonders of the world and some of African most authentic safari experiences so how many of them are you ready to put into your next trip? We outline some of our favourites below but there are many more, message us for more adventure ideas!

With technology at an all-time high with smartphones providing sharp images of the wildlife and landscapes! Safaris and photography go hand in hand since the swap from shots from the gun to the camera came around. Pioneered by the valley's own Norman Carr, sharing what we saw on safari is quite a thrill rather than trying to ship back a dead buck! Here at Msandile we are ever amazed at the magnitude of the cameras, zoom lenses and fancy equipment our guests turn up with! Rather than showing off fancy cars it seems the big zoom lenses are the comparison of choice on drives!! We absolutely love seeing what you manage to capture and the creativity involved in post editing and new viewpoints! Please do feel free to tag us in anything you share or send it to us so we can show you off!

Whilst most of you come to us as experts in the field it never hurts to share some of our tips and tricks for those that are starting out, or like me have all the gear and no idea!

You have chosen one of the best parks in Africa for the ultimate safari experience but what can you do here? Make the most of your trip and sample all the valley has to offer!

When we see the words High and Low (or green) season, we automatically assume this means the quality of the safari rather than the price tag! High season usually refers to the fact there is no rain, a mix of the cooler winter and hot summer days that see the bush dry out, where sightings can be more numerous due to the visibility in the bush and the proximity of the predators and prey to water.
