A phone call or a letter requesting personalized service will be honored. Your plane trip via Zambia Airways, on the very latest aircraft, can be arranged with a stopover in London. You can do it on your own, or have your travel agent secure a package plan for you, including air fare. You’ll find fees to be quite reasonable. There are 19 national parks and 34 game manegement areas in Zambia. That’s 30 percent of Zambia’s land of 752,614 square kilometers. Private game reserves are also part of the parks.

Management of national reserves requires the conservation of wildlife and the environment. Efforts in this direction are already bearing fruit. Many organizations are involved in the conservation efforts. In promoting the free market the economy supports private investment in tourism. Therefore, many private game parks exist. Some of these are Lilayi Lodge game park, Protea Safari Lodge, Chisamba game park and Chaminuka, all are within 50 kilometers of Lusaka, Others are the Lechwe Lodge in western Zambia, Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage on the Zambian Copperbelt and Mwengwe Game Ranch. Then there is Chaminuka Nature Reserve, with a wild landscape, and the largest private nature reserve in Zambia. |
