Zambia
Zambia is one of the least travelled countries in Southern Africa, but is certainly no less rewarding. The main attraction is that of The Victoria Falls which Zambia shares with its neighbouring country, Zimbabwe. With the falls and the mighty Zambezi River, the area is known as the ‘adventure capital’ offering adrenalin-packed activities in a magnificent African setting. Zambia is also home to many game reserves of its own. South Luangwa, Kafue and Lower Zambezi rank as some of the finest game parks in the world. Zambia also has easy access to the game enriched areas of Botswana.
The Victoria Falls
The great Zambezi River carves its way across six countries and travels some 2700km giving life to an abundance of African mammals, fish and birds. At a stage in its journey, this mighty river tumbles over a sheer drop some 1370m wide and 108m deep, giving us one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. The Victoria Falls, creating a magnificent roaring and mist-filled cavern as it plunges below to form the narrow, zig-zagging gorge has been named a world heritage site.

Experiences
Hi Joan - We have arrived home safely - with just a little jet lag. Your guidance and expertise in planning this trip was invaluable. The trip exceeded all of my expectations!! I would not have changed anything. It would be difficult to pick out the best part of the trip - in that each day was so special. Rob and Heath were exceptional and a great part in making the trip so special. Londolozi was amazing. I'm not sure who we have to thank for our special Anniversary treat of lunch in the tree house; but thank you, thank you, thank you!! It still brings tears to my eyes thinking of the it!! We started the trip by saying "if" we go back to Africa only for it to be quickly changed to "when" we go back to Africa. So until next time, I thank you again for making this such a special experience!!
We were a group of three couples traveling to South Africa for the first time. We have traveled to Italy, Cuba, Mexico and other locations together and had arranged to stay in a house outside of Cape Town on our own. Redfoot Safaris was introduced to us by a friend in Phoenix that had a great experience in 2017. We communicated with Rex by email and phone and were impressed by his patience as none of us had ever been on a Safari and we had lots of questions. Rex arranged for us to have two full day tours of Cape Town and the surrounding area and we were so impressed with our guide that we engaged him for another full day. Upon arrival at Rattray on Mala Mala we could not believe how comfortable and luxurious the facilities were and the staff and their service was impeccable. Our guide, Garrett, was fantastic and a wealth of knowledge. We were exposed to a great number of animals and learned so much about their lives and their environment. It was both an educational and relaxing break and our photos and memories will be enjoyed for years to come. We highly recommend letting Redfoot make the arrangements so that the total experience can be enjoyed even though it is far from home. We would love to return and repeat the entire experience.
Our trip was just perfect - spent three days touring Cape Town and surroundings with our guide, George Meyer, who was fantastic. Other than our pick-up time, nothing was set in stone, and George allowed each day to unfold as it happened. We got to see everything on our list - and then some. From there we headed to MalaMala for a couple days safari, which were amazing - the accommodations at Rattray's were beautiful, and we saw more wildlife than we were expecting. Our safari guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and perfectly suited for our group. All details were taken care of by Redfoot/Rex, including being met at the Johannesburg airport, which was a huge help on our way home! Can't say enough about Rex, George, and MalaMala. Loved the trip!!
