ZAMBIA • AUGUST 16-25, 2026
Zambia rejects the circus of mass tourism, offering instead a rugged wilderness defined by geographical extremes and an elite low-density travel model. Unlike more commercialized safari zones, this nation’s commitment to minimal human footprint means visitors are genuinely scarce, with national parks like the Lower Zambezi remaining largely untamed. The terrain itself is a brutal tapestry of vast, seasonal floodplains and dense miombo woodlands. Then there is the life-giving Zambezi River—allowing for unique riverine safaris by boat or canoe that offer intimate perspectives on high-density populations of elephant and buffalo, alongside the country’s infamous proliferation of leopards in the Luangwa Valley. This is a destination for the discerning traveler, where exclusivity is not a luxury upgrade, but the standard operating procedure (totally Seasick’s style).
To reiterate, the (included) luxury camps of Zambia operate on an inherent principle of exclusive isolation, positioning them not merely near wildlife, but often as the singular human outposts in vast, predator-rich concessions. Unlike high-traffic destinations, establishments in the Lower Zambezi or the remote sections of South Luangwa restrict guest numbers to an intimate few—often as low as eight or ten—with individual suites strategically spaced to grant absolute privacy and uninterrupted vistas over rivers or floodplains. This commitment to low-density tourism means the prime game-viewing spots are routinely reserved for the guests of a single camp, offering a level of unhurried, proprietary wilderness access that is virtually extinct elsewhere on the continent.
This ten-day safari is a faultless, full-service spectacle, where every conceivable need is secured before the journey even begins. From the second the private jet (albeit an African winged bus from the early 2000s) arrives onto a forgotten dirt strip, to the grim (tears may be shed) final exit, every obstacle is demolished and every craving is already achieved. Seasick's premier, relentless commitment to excellence isn't a bonus; it's the bare minimum required. Seasick serves as more than simply an agency, they function as the unseen masters of this brutal yet beautiful theatre, allowing the individual’s gaze to be fixed only on the raw cycle of life, utterly unconcerned with the amount of planning and preparation required to be present at that moment. Truth.
AFRICA
Africa is an ancient terrain—expansive, elemental, and still writing the original story of life on Earth. Nicknamed the Mother Continent for good reason, it’s where human history began and where it continues to unfold in color, cadence, and wild scale. With 54 recognized countries, over 1,500 languages (depending on who’s counting), and ecosystems that stretch from coastal jungle to bone-dry desert, Africa doesn’t do small. It’s the second-largest continent on Earth, home to more megafauna than anywhere else: lions, elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, and creatures with no business being that large, roaming free.
Its terrain is stitched with 3,000+ protected areas: marine sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, rainforest pockets, and endless open plains. From the Congo Basin to the Kalahari, from the Sahara to the Serengeti, the continent breathes contrast, both ancient and urgently alive. Cultural diversity? Off the charts. Religion, cuisine, textiles, music, architecture—it’s not a monolith, it’s a mosaic. And when it comes to wildlife, Africa isn’t a highlight reel; it is the show.
Countries: ≈54 (recognized + semi-recognized) • Area: 11,730,000 sq mi • Population: 1,550,000,000 (2025) • Languages: 1,500 - 3,000 • Religions: Christianity (49%), Islam (42%), Traditional (8%) • Megafauna: Most on Earth • Protected Areas: 3,000+ (198 marine, 50 biosphere, 80 wetlands) • Largest Country: Algeria • Largest City: Lagos (Nigeria) • Smallest Country: Seychelles • Longest River: Nile
ZAMBIA
Zambia, situated in the heart of Southern Africa, is celebrated for its incredible abundance of water and mineral wealth. The landscape is dominated by a high, well-watered plateau, vast woodlands, and dramatic river valleys. Towering waterfalls, major river systems, and massive lakes are all stitched together by a warm tropical climate and fertile soil. The country’s two defining natural features, the mighty Zambezi River and the extensive Copperbelt, stand in striking contrast. One is a lifeblood of agriculture and hydroelectric power, featuring the breathtaking Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya—The Smoke that Thunders), the other is a region rich in copper and cobalt that drives the national economy. Together, they form a nation poised on the cusp of immense development. Formerly the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia, Zambia gained independence in 1964 and has since sought to diversify an economy heavily reliant on a single commodity. Bordered by eight countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, Zambia’s (relatively) large population is concentrated along the historic Line of Rail. Just under ten percent (3,000,000+) live in the capital city, Lusaka. Its wilderness areas are expansive and biodiverse. Over 20 national parks, including the world-renowned South Luangwa and Kafue National Parks, support numerous big game species and host one of the largest concentrations of leopards in Africa.

WEATHER AND CLIMATE
For those willing to spend five-figure on an African safari, the time of year selected is critical. Forget about wind, heavy rain, or thunderstorms. Even worse, during the wet season the vegetation is so dense that the wildlife can’t be seen. Lame! That is why Seasick selected the best six weeks of the year to visit. August falls squarely within Zambia's cool dry season, offering superb conditions across the country. Rainfall is virtually non-existent, and the skies are typically clear and sunny, allowing for excellent daytime visibility. While the afternoons are pleasantly warm, the mornings and evenings remain chilly, especially in the plateau areas, requiring warm layers for early game drives. As the landscape continues to dry out, the vegetation thins and animals congregate heavily around permanent rivers and waterholes, marking this month as a prime time for intensive wildlife viewing in parks like South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi.
AUGUST AVERAGES
Lusaka (Ciela Resort & Spa) – Mean: 64°F • High: 78°F • Low: 51°F • Sunshine Hrs: 11.5 • Rainy Days: 0 • Rain Total: 0 in
Located in south-central Zambia, the capital city of Lusaka is the country's central hub, famous for its rapid development, vibrant markets, and role as the main gateway to the national parks. In August, Lusaka enjoys some of the most pleasant weather of the year: dry skies, warm afternoons, and cool, crisp mornings. This weather is perfect for exploring the city's lively commercial districts or making a comfortable departure for the safari circuits. As the cool dry season begins to transition, Lusaka acts as the lifeline for the country, facilitating the movement of people and commerce, linking the major mining regions and agricultural provinces to the wider world.
South Luangwa National Park (Kakuli Lodge + Mchenja Lodge) – Mean: 74°F • High: 86°F • Low: 63°F • Sunshine Hrs: 11.5 • Rainy Days: 0 • Rain Total: 0 in
South Luangwa National Park is world-famous as the "Valley of the Leopard" due to its exceptionally high density and reliability for spotting the elusive big cat. August falls at the height of the dry season, providing consistently sunny days and clear, thin bush that makes wildlife viewing—especially of concentrated animals near the Luangwa River—supremely rewarding.
August in South Luangwa National Park is characterized by ideal, mild, and dry weather, marking the transition from the cool winter into the hot season. The complete lack of rain, thinning vegetation, and scarce water throughout the park forces wildlife to concentrate heavily around the Luangwa River, making it a prime month for walking safaris and exceptional game viewing.
Lower Zambezi National Park (Chongwe Camp) – Mean: 65°F • High: 79°F • Low: 53°F • Sunshine Hrs: 11.5 • Rainy Days: 0 • Rain Total: 0 in
Lower Zambezi National Park is world-famous for its incredible water-based safaris, where visitors can canoe among large herds of elephants and hippos on the mighty Zambezi River. In August, the weather is defined by exceptionally dry, clear conditions, which intensify the wildlife viewing experience as the animals gather at the life-giving riverbanks.

SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK (KAKULI CAMP + MCHENJA CAMP)
Chobe National Park, nestled in the north of Botswana, is a realm of staggering wildlife density and diverse landscapes, solidifying its reputation as one of Africa’s most important game reserves. The park is a mosaic of ecosystems, from the vast, predator-rich grasslands of the Savuti Marsh to the secluded Linyanti Wetlands. It is home to an incredible array of animals, including four of the Big Five, with particularly strong populations of lions, leopards, and enormous herds of Cape buffalo. Giraffes, zebras, kudu, impala, and packs of the highly endangered African wild dog are also frequently encountered. With that said, Chobe National Park is most famous for something else: elephants. Not 100. Not 1,000. Not even 10,000. More like 100,000 African bush elephants call the park home. Absolutely crazy!
And if that ain’t enough, check this out…the park's life-giving artery is the Chobe River, which hosts one of nature's most unforgettable spectacles: swimming elephants. During the dry season, massive breeding herds, for which Chobe is most famous, congregate at the river's edge to drink, socialize, and cross the channels to reach grassy islands. A boat cruise offers an unparalleled vantage point to witness these giants fully submerged, with only their trunks held high like periscopes, as they expertly navigate the current. This aquatic stage is shared by enormous pods of hippos, basking Nile crocodiles on the banks, and a plethora of birdlife, including the iconic African fish eagle, creating a dynamic and constantly evolving scene of survival and natural beauty.
Land Area: 3,490 sq mi • Acres: 2,233,600 • Elevation: 1,640' - 5,085' • Established: 1972 • Wildlife Species: ≈400 bird + ≈60 mammal + ≈2,000 plant • Camps/Lodges: 21 • Human Residents: 0
KAKULI CAMP
Opened in 1973, Chobe Game Lodge boasts a rich history as the first and only permanent safari lodge located within the borders of the renowned Chobe National Park in Botswana. Its prime location on the banks of the Chobe River offers unparalleled access to the park's dense concentration of wildlife, famously granting guests immediate entry for game drives without having to pass through park gates. This prestigious lodge (which famously hosted Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton for their second wedding in 1975) is designed with Moorish architecture and provides a luxurious retreat with extensive amenities. Guests can enjoy a range of activities, including land-based safaris in an all-electric fleet of vehicles and sunset river cruises on solar-powered boats. The lodge also features elevated riverside rooms with private terraces, a swimming pool, multiple dining areas, a well-stocked library, and a raised boardwalk for safe, close-up wildlife viewing right from the property.

MCHENJA CAMP
Welcome to Seasick’s newest achievement in the relentless pursuit of the “latest and greatest.” Sediba Sa Rona. Not just new. Brand new. Actually, as of this writing, not-even-finished-new (below are simply renderings). This contemporary safari lodge is situated on the banks of the magnificent Khwai River, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. The property represents a revival of one of the region's first photographic safari camps, the historic Khwai River Lodge. Its core philosophy is centered on sustainable development and the direct involvement of Botswana citizens in the tourism industry. To minimize environmental impact on the Okavango ecosystem, the reconstruction was intentionally limited to the original lodge's footprint. The name, meaning “Our Source of Water,” is an ode to the vital Khwai River, which supports the large concentrations of wildlife in the area.
The lodge features 15 Luxury Tents, each appointed with an en-suite bathroom and a private outdoor deck providing views over the river. These vantage points, along with those in the main common areas, offer opportunities for guests to spot wildlife. The central facilities, positioned under a canopy of leadwood and fig trees, include a main dining area, a well-stocked bar, indoor lounges, and outdoor viewing decks. Additional amenities consist of a swimming pool, a spa for wellness treatments, and an open-air fire deck connected by a raised boardwalk. A curio shop is also available, featuring beautifully crafted local keepsakes and gifts that support Botswana artisans. It looks horrible, huh.

LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK (CHONGWE CAMP)
Moremi Game Reserve stands as a unique jewel in Botswana's conservation crown, distinguished primarily by its extraordinary origin and unparalleled ecological diversity. Situated in the heart of the world-renowned Okavango Delta, Moremi is the first reserve in Africa to be established by local residents, proclaimed by the BaTawana people in 1963 to protect the region's wildlife, a legacy of community-led conservation that sets it apart. What makes it fundamentally different from other Botswana parks like Chobe or the Central Kalahari is its permanent and intricate lacework of water, creating a stunning mosaic of ecosystems where dry land and delta meet. Unlike the vast, seasonally dependent savannas of Chobe or the arid Kalahari Desert, Moremi offers a year-round spectacle of deep lagoons, winding channels, lush floodplains, and dense riverine forests existing alongside classic savanna woodlands. This constant interplay of water and land supports an incredible density of both wetland and terrestrial wildlife simultaneously, offering the rare opportunity to track lions in the morning and navigate hippo-filled waterways in the afternoon, a comprehensive and dynamic safari experience that is quintessentially and exclusively Moremi.
Land Area: 1,930 sq mi • Acres: 1,235,200 • Elevation: 3,100' • Established: 1963 • Wildlife Species: ≈500 bird + ≈120 mammal + ≈1,300 plant • Camps/Lodges: 21 • Big Five + Little Five + Ugly Five: Yes
CHONGWE CAMP
Established over four decades ago, Camp Moremi holds a significant legacy as one of the original photographic safari lodges in the Okavango Delta, playing a pivotal role in establishing the region as a world-class wildlife destination. Its importance is deeply tied to its prime location on the edge of the Xakanaxa Lagoon within the Moremi Game Reserve, an area renowned for its year-round, spectacular concentration of diverse wildlife. As a pioneering camp, it set a high standard for safari operations, helping to cement the reserve's reputation for exceptional game viewing that seamlessly combines both land and water-based activities. For many years, Camp Moremi has served as a benchmark for authentic, luxury safari experiences in one of Africa's most pristine and game-rich environments.
The lodge's design is unique for its elegant and timeless "treehouse" style, which masterfully blends classic safari charm with its natural surroundings. The main structure, featuring a lounge, library, dining room, and cocktail bar, is elevated on a raised deck and built around a colossal ebony tree, creating an immersive feeling of being part of the forest canopy. Guest accommodation consists of lavish, East African-style safari tents built on raised teak platforms, each with private en-suite facilities and a viewing deck. The extensive use of thatch, timber, and canvas throughout the camp honors traditional safari aesthetics while ensuring a luxurious and intimate connection to the wild landscape of the Moremi Game Reserve.

MAKGADIKGADI PANS NATIONAL PARK (LEROO LA TAU)
During the dry season (typically May to October), the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park presents a landscape of singular and profound uniqueness. The vast area, a remnant of one of the world's largest ancient super-lakes, transforms into a desolate, blindingly white expanse of cracked salt crust. This feature creates an unparalleled illusion of boundless space and isolation, often described as an otherworldly or lunar environment. The resultant stillness is so absolute that it creates a powerful sensory experience—an encounter with true, quiet emptiness that sharply contrasts with conventional African environments. This geological phenomenon is what makes the Makgadikgadi a globally special destination for those seeking a distinctive geological wonder.
During this arid phase, the distribution and number of wildlife become dictated by the scarcity of water. The central pans are largely devoid of life, but the western fringes along the Boteti River (Leroo La Tau overlooks) become a critical refuge, concentrating the wildlife that remains in the park. Though the massive influx of migratory zebra and wildebeest is mainly associated with the brief wet season, significant numbers of desert-adapted species are observable throughout the dry months. Resident fauna includes the elusive brown hyena, aardwolf, and large populations of meerkats that are a major draw for visitors. Additionally, species like oryx and springbok are present, showcasing adaptations to the harsh, arid conditions, with thousands of zebras and wildebeest often found gathering near the Boteti River for their sustained water source.
Land Area: 1,900 sq mi • Acres: 1,216,000 • Elevation: 2,950' • Established: 1992 • Wildlife Species: ≈350 bird + ≈40 mammal + ≈200 plant • Camps/Lodges: 0 • Villages: 0 • Population: 0 • Zebra: 25,000+
LEROO LA TAU
Leroo La Tau offers a singular safari experience, distinguishing itself through its truly unique and strategic location on the western bank of the Boteti River, which forms the boundary of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. This positioning is crucial, as the river is a vital, often life-saving, water source for the arid park, particularly during the dry season. The lodge is dramatically situated atop high cliffs, affording an unrivaled, elevated perspective of the riverbed and the sweeping plains beyond. This natural vantage point is unique in the area and provides exceptional, year-round game viewing, with animals—including vast numbers of zebra, wildebeest, and predators—often visible directly from the lodge as they gather at the river's edge.
The accommodations at Leroo La Tau are regarded as some of the best in this distinct safari region, expertly blending comfort with immersion in the wild. The lodge features twelve suites, all with spectacular views over the Boteti River Valley. The main lodge boasts a riverside game-viewing hide—a subtle, lower vantage point ideal for photography—and a stunning central area with a lounge, dining room, and pool overlooking the landscape. This thoughtful design ensures that every guest space maximizes the unique, dynamic wildlife spectacle for which Leroo La Tau is renowned.
