Get up close and personal with the wildlife along Zambia’s mighty rivers. Time + Tide is connected through the rivers of Zambia, journey with us to all three of our regions, the Liuwa Plain, the South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi. An unspoiled wilderness, South Luangwa National Park is known as the Valley of the Leopard and the home of the walking safari. With endemic giraffe and wildebeest, and endangered wild dogs, the game viewing here is second to none. The landscape of the Lower Zambezi National Park is entirely different. Its lush channels and ancient forests are a haven for elephants, predators and birdlife. It offers the greatest variety of activities in Zambia, from game drives to canoeing, boat cruises, walking safaris and tiger fishing. The Liuwa Plain, on the west of Zambia, with its large wildebeest movement, exceptional birdlife as well as predator action is one of Zambia’s best kept secrets. Explore all three parks with award-winning guides on our most popular itinerary in Zambia.

My week long stay at Miavana was unparalleled in almost every aspect of luxury. Defining luxury not only in terms of great quality and exclusivity, but in terms of craftsmanship, consciousness and a unique enriching experience. The richness of the culture set the context for such unique environment, and is the pillar of every impressive distinguishing feature of Miavana.

Miavana will exceed your expectations. We traveled to Miavana for a week and had an incredible experience. The weather was perfect, the staff was attentive and there was enough activities on offer to keep us busy (honestly we could have stayed an extra week). The island is also home to a group of crowned lemurs which were amazing to see!
