Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, is a growing city with 1.5 million inhabitants. There are over 19 national parks in Zambia, but many are remote and difficult to visit. However, with your private group it is possible to arrange excursions to all the parks. Safaris and game viewing in Zambia are unique because the emphasis is not on visiting many parks, but rather on experiencing life in the bush on walking safaris and night game drives. Richard McGowan has visited most of Zambia's wildlife areas as an environmental consultant while living in Africa.
