What you need to know about Zambia
Discover Zambia’s rich heritage in Livingstone, from local markets to museums and riverside life along the Zambezi. Engage with communities in and around Batoka Gorge, learning how culture, conservation and rural livelihoods intersect in this unique region of Southern Africa.
Track white rhinos on patrol in the savannah, trek the dramatic cliffs and river trails of Batoka Gorge, and stand in the spray of mighty Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Finish with a peaceful Zambezi River excursion at sunset.
Unwind in Livingstone after days in the wild. Relax at local cafés, browse craft markets or reflect by the Zambezi River. After the intensity of conservation work and trekking, it’s the perfect balance of adventure and downtime before heading home.
Stay in comfortable lodges in Livingstone and remote bush camps within the wildlife reserve and Batoka Gorge. Accommodation is simple and authentic during trekking, with nights under vast African skies, then more relaxed guesthouse stays back in town to recharge before heading home.
Work alongside conservation rangers protecting critically endangered white rhinos in a carefully managed reserve. Join patrols, support habitat management and learn how reintroduction programmes are rebuilding Zambia’s wildlife populations. Along the trek, connect with rural communities to gain insight into daily life near the Zambezi.
Un sustainable development goal
Key UN SDGs explored on our school trips to Zambia include 4: Quality Education, as students learn directly from conservationists and rangers about wildlife management, ecosystem protection and sustainable land use; and 15: Life on Land, through hands-on white rhino conservation, anti-poaching awareness and habitat management within protected savannah reserves.
Your school trip to Zambia awaits
Zambia is a country of vast horizons, untamed wilderness and powerful natural wonders. Best known for the mighty Victoria Falls and the winding Zambezi River, it is a place where wildlife roams freely across open savannah and conservation success stories are still being written. Beyond the landscapes, Zambia is defined by warm communities, deep cultural roots and a strong connection between people and the land. From remote bush reserves to vibrant town life in Livingstone, this is a destination that blends adventure with purpose, challenging you physically, broadening your perspective and revealing the vital role conservation plays in protecting Africa’s wild spaces.
