Zambia is among our favourite destinations in Africa for a honeymoon safari, offering a vast array of romantic activities and unique wildlife. Here you can combine thrilling adventures and outdoor expeditions with sumptuous stays and relaxing moments. It’s the perfect place to begin your married life with a journey you’ll never forget.
When it comes to wildlife, Kafue National Park is not to be missed. You can embark on game drives with your private guide and exceptional birdwatching. South Luangwa is another must-visit, inviting you to step out into the wilderness on exhilarating walking safaris – a concept that was pioneered here. In Lower Zambezi National Park you can combine game drives and bush walks with canoe safaris for yet another perspective.
Then there’s the mighty Victoria Falls, set on the border with Zimbabwe. Its thundering power will truly leave you speechless. Adventurous couples can go white water rafting or swim in the Devil’s Pool at the falls’ edge. We also recommend sunset river cruises and taking a little time out of nature to explore the town of Livingstone.
Wherever your itinerary takes you, you’ll find plenty of world-class safari lodges and camps for couples. Reach out to our team for expert tips on where to go, where to stay and what to do in each place. We can help you design a Zambia honeymoon safari that will exceed even your wildest expectations.
Highlights
Head to North Luangwa for the chance to spot the black rhino; it’s the only park in Zambia with all of the Big Five.
Visit Livingstone Island to learn about its history and enjoy a luxurious lunch or afternoon tea with views of Victoria Falls.
Opt for an evening game drive in South Luangwa for sightings of nocturnal species like leopards and owls.
Climb into the basket of a hot air balloon for a bird’s-eye view of Kafue’s sweeping plains, followed by a champagne breakfast.
Zambia's pristine landscapes, spectacular wildlife and one-of-a-kind wonders like Victoria Falls make it a phenomenal destination for honeymoons that strike a superb balance between romance and adventure.

When to visit Zambia for honeymoon safaris
The dry season from May to October is the best time of year for a honeymoon safari in Zambia. During the rainy season from November to April, the landscapes come alive with green vegetation and birdlife. However, wetter conditions make for sub-optimal wildlife viewing and some parks close down.
Victoria Falls offers the most impressive views from February to July, when water levels are highest; May and June are especially good months to combine safaris with the falls. But some activities, such as white water rafting, require lower water levels – so the best time to visit depends on what you want to do.
