Located in southern-central Africa, Zambia combines a diverse culture with unspoiled beauty and nature-based adventure. Zamag Tours & Safaris, an NTA member since 2015, covers many of the country’s highlights as part of its itineraries.
“It’s a great destination for both safaris and agriculture tours,” says company owner Daphne Lindsay. “From an agricultural point of view, Zambia has 40 percent of Africa’s water and is a very fertile country that could be the future breadbasket of Africa.”
Daphne and her husband, Ian, have been running agricultural tours for more than two decades, first in Zimbabwe and then in Zambia. Itineraries include visits to a number of traditional Zambian farms—both small-scale and commercial operations—for everything from in-depth study programs covering specific technical interests to more social visits.
In addition to the farm-focused tours, the company offers safaris in Zambia. Game drives typically showcase some of the nation’s signature outdoor attractions—Kafue, South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi national parks—as well as animals such as leopards, zebras, elephants, hippos and many species of birds. Neighboring Botswana and Zimbabwe also are included on some packages.
