Classic Zambia

Classic Zambia is all about stripped-back owner-run camps led by passionate conservationists and safari experts. All the camps are in remote, wildlife-dense locations, ensuring guests enjoy prime game-viewing experiences, led by exceptional guides. As a homegrown business, Classic Zambia knows Zambia’s wild spaces exceedingly well and is essentially a genuine, down-to-earth operation with conservation at its core. The Classic Zambia camps are all eco-friendly, but the company chooses not to use ‘sustainability’ as a marketing buzzword, considering environmental awareness non-negotiable. All camps run exclusively on solar power, including water pumps, and the owners are careful about where they obtain their produce, preferring to source locally as much as possible.

The company also tries to employ people from communities close to the camps. Classic Zambia founder, Kyle Branch, is a co-founder of the TEVETA national accreditation syllabus and examinations for Zambia’s professional guides. Passionate about training the future generation of wildlife guides, all the guides you’ll meet at the camps have been trained by Kyle directly. The company’s charity, Musekese Conservation, focuses on protecting the local people and wildlife of Kafue National Park from poaching. Its projects include law enforcement, awareness campaigns, wildlife management, and female empowerment.
