I want to know more about the hotels to stay at, restaurants, nightclubs, etc.
Also any information on safari options in the nearby game parks would be appreciated

Zambia Safari: Hunting in Africa

Zambia safaris are not meant for the sophisticated and pampered traveler. The country is more about catering the wild interests than to the mass tourism market. The safaris are especially encouraging for those intrepid souls who are always in search of a bit of adventure and fun. This is basically due to the fact that the country is supported by three large rivers and three huge lakes, which have made it a favorite spot for a variety of wildlife.

Interestingly, some of the locations on Zambia safari are not easily reached. These places require a person to indulge into a lot of traveling and substantial camping. But, in a nutshell, it is not wrong to say that this part of Africa offers several experiences that do not occur anywhere else.

Why Zambia Safaris are Different?

Are you a wildlife lover? There are many sources through which an interesting safari arrangement can be made to satisfy your wild curiosity. Setting out on a Zambia safari may very well lead to the plains of Busanga and Bangweulu. These places can provide an unforgettable view of tens of thousands of antelope making their crossing. The Livwa Plains better known as a wildebeest migration can be enjoyed deeply too. Not satisfied with this, try out the truly daring white-water rafting on the Zambia River. The activity can charm your sense to the fullest. Amidst all of the excitement, it is also possible to take in what many consider to be the most stunning scenery on earth.

For having the best experience in the African land, you can opt for any of the numerous choices available for booking a tour of Africa. Zambia safaris provide the most interesting and exciting experiences for people love to flaunt their daring souls. The safaris are a bit detached and they have not become as commercialized as many of the others.

Ras Kutani Beach Resort Tanzania

It’s a very long way to Ras Kutani from the UK. There is the 10 hour flight or longer if you fly Emirates to Dar es Salaam, followed by over two hours on not very good roads, including an interesting river crossing, or a short flight which we declined based on previous experience, although I must admit we flew back!!

The situation of Ras Kutani is perfect, nestled around a freshwater lagoon on the Indian Ocean. Our hut, cabana, cottage,call it what you want, was open to the breezes, and contained one enormous bed, which was also very comfortable, with a huge mosquito net, which was necessary. I worry about malaria, bugs, in fact anything creepy crawly, so was more than a little concerned at the lack of things like glass windows, air conditioning, but thanks to DEET, and good mosquito nets it was no problem at all.

Outside there was a large verandah, complete with hammocks , and cushions where we could lie out in the evening amply sprayed with anti bug, and watch the sun set.

The room also had ensuite facilities with a shower, and was as you would expect furnished and designed very much by local craftsmen.

The food was excellent, much of it seafood, very freshly prepared by the ever willing smiling chefs, in fact all the staff were full of beaming smiles, very courteous, and ever willing. It was the flag system on the beach to summon drinks that was a nice touch out here in the wilderness.

There isn’t that much to do, but if you like the sea, sailing, snorkelling, surfing/boogie boarding, by the way watch the waves if you do, then you will be in paradise, with a good book.

Selous Camp isn’t far away, so this would be a good place to recharge your batteries, recover from your flight, prior to a safari.
