Are group tours to Zambia worth it?

Yes, booking a tour in Zambia is well worth it, and in some cases, even necessary to explore certain areas. This country's remote corners can be challenging to access independently, but tour operators offer an easier way to these must-see areas. Hence, opting for a guided package tour to Zambia is the choice of the majority of travelers. Local tour companies can expertly curate your entire journey, from transport and accommodations to meals, activities, sights, and entrance tickets, ensuring a seamless adventure. With a tour, you're in for a hassle-free and relaxing experience, with the knowledge that everything is taken care of and that the price is all-inclusive.

Is a group tour cheaper than solo travel to Zambia?

Navigating the travel costs of Zambia often reveals that tours can be a pocket-friendly alternative to independent travel, depending on the tour's specifics such as the destinations, travel style, duration, and other factors. Naturally, every tour and independent trip will be different and have its own cost. Typically, tour providers bundle an array of offerings into an attractively competitive price, often rivalling the expenditure of an independent journey with a similar level of luxury. The average daily expenses for a tour in Zambia is calculated to be approximately $345, yet numerous tours fall below this price. Prices for tours in Zambia span from $85 to $27,218. When comparing tour costs against independent trips in Zambia, it's wise to factor in that most organized guided tours include accommodations, transport, guides, meals, entry tickets, and much more. So, when comparing tour packages with trips planned by yourself, keep in mind the differences because it's not always an equal comparison. To paint an accurate picture of the trip and its costs, make sure you know what is included in the tour package before comparing its price against your own trip plans. Also, diving deep into the costs of independent travel in Zambia is also necessary to find an accurate comparison.

Group Tours vs. Independent Travel in Zambia

For many travelers, the decision between an organized tour package and independent travel can be quite challenging. However, considering the variety of enticing deals and sales available, traveling in Zambia during 2025 or 2026 presents an excellent opportunity to explore the benefits of organized tour packages. These packages, which typically cover accommodations, entry tickets, food, and transportation, offer exceptional value. Moreover, the inclusion of knowledgeable guides ensures a seamless and enriching experience, alleviating the need for extensive trip planning. Conversely, independent travel provides the advantage of greater flexibility and control over your travel plans, allowing you to adjust your schedule and budget to suit your preferences. It also facilitates a closer connection with local cultures and enables you to visit destinations that may not be included in organized tours.

What are the benefits of a package tour to Zambia?

Opting for a tour while traveling brings numerous benefits. One of the best parts of a tour is the unmatched convenience of having every aspect of your journey meticulously arranged. With transportation, accommodations, and activities planned out, you can enjoy a stress-free experience, knowing that all the essentials have been taken care of. This eliminates the need to worry about finding suitable accommodations, organizing logistics, or potentially overlooking any key attractions. Furthermore, the majority of tours offer all-inclusive pricing, allowing you to know the exact cost of your trip beforehand. Benefits of a tour include

  • fixed budget
  • reliable service and schedule
  • knowledgeable guides
  • comfortable amenities
  • not having to plan
  • meeting other like-minded travelers
  • eliminating risks

What are the benefits of independent travel in Zambia?

Independent travel provides freedom, control, and flexibility that that many travelers love. By traveling on your own, you have the freedom to choose your accommodation, visit the attractions that interest you, eat at your preferred times, and explore the destination at your own pace. This level of independence also allows you to have more control over your budget, schedule, itinerary, and the level of comfort you desire during your travels. Benefits also include:

  • flexible budget
  • flexible schedules
  • in-depth cultural opportunities
  • off-the-beaten-path destinations

How far in advance should I book my tour to Zambia?

For your tour to Zambia, it is advisable to plan and book well in advance, ideally a few months or more beforehand. While it is not uncommon for some individuals to secure their tours up to a year in advance, our experience suggests that reserving your spot approximately 6 to 9 months prior to the departure date is usually sufficient. It is important to note that many tours tend to reach full capacity early, so booking early guarantees your place on the trip. Additionally, booking early often comes with the advantage of potentially significant cost savings, as tour companies frequently provide early booking sales and discounted prices. However, it is worth noting that some tour companies may occasionally offer last-minute discounts for tours that have available spots. Yet, waiting for such discounts carries the risk of missing out on a spot if the tour becomes fully booked.

How many people are in group tours to Zambia?

The number of travelers on tours in Zambia can vary greatly, ranging from 4 to 50 individuals, with an average group size of 14 people. However, it is important to note that the size of the tour does not necessarily determine its quality or price.

How much time do I need for a group tour to Zambia?

You'll likely need around 7 days for a tour to Zambia, as this is the average length of most organized tour packages. Tours in Zambia can last anywhere from 2 to 16 days, or sometimes longer. Keep in mind that longer tours tend to cost more money, but will actually get cheaper by the day. Also, longer tours will usually allow you to see more destinations at a reasonable pace, making them a generally better value.

Where do group tours go in Zambia?

The most popular stops in Zambia are Lusaka, Livingstone, Choma, Zambezi, Serenje, Mkushi, and Mongu, and many of the tours pass through these destinations.

What tour and travel companies offer packages to Zambia?

A wide range of tour companies offer trips to Zambia. Some companies are large international brands, while others are more regionally or locally based. The benefits and challenges of each company can vary based on its size and level of experience. International companies often have well-established reputations, and tours are rarely canceled due to low turnout. However, they might not have the same local perspectives and insights that you'll find with a smaller, locally based company.

The most popular companies offering tours in Zambia are Lochinvar Safaris, Across Africa Tours & Travel, Adventure Purists Ltd., Little Roz Tours, and Agate Travel. Some are larger than others, while some are focused on specific regions or types of trips.
