Overview

The best of Zambia is usually between the towns, and this 9-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Livingstone · South Luangwa · Lower Zambezi, and every night booked ahead — so Victoria Falls from the Zambian side and Devil’s Pool (seasonal) happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

May – Oct is the sweet spot for Zambia (Africa), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,19,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Zambia visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Explera planned our Livingstone holiday end to end — flights, 3★ / 4★ en route, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

Nikunj Patel

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Our first trip abroad to Livingstone was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
