Things to watch
Zambia is certainly in the global spotlight, particularly as demand grows for authentic experiences. Away from the regional commercial tourist traps. Our rich cultural heritage, adventure activities, wildlife reserves, and natural untouched landscape’s, all set the tone for “The Explorer Club Africa’s” experience at Indaba this year.
The Elephant Cafe’
The award-winning Elephant Cafe’ continues to go from strength to strength. The unique pairings of the river transfer with our legacy herd of elephants and the incredible food selection. Proved to be hot topics at the show, particularly with the media.

The “Zambezi White Water Festival 2018”, this year from the 25th to the 28th of October, looks to be set to grow. With teams signed up, the onus is now on the entertainment for the weekend.
We met with “Eat Street Africa”, looking to sign up the talented Holly Wasserful at this year’s festival. She would be joining a great line up of African entertainers and musicians, “Black Mamba Man”, “Chicken Bus”, and “Shyman Shaizo”.

Multi-day Rafting, rafting.
With Adventure travel tourism estimated to grow by 46% by 2020, it is unsurprising there has been a significant uptick in take-up of our Zambezi River rafting offerings. Our five-star glamping multi-days and our unique take on day trips have seen a massive resurgence in demand for rafting options.
