Shamba Travel Group
One group, many ways to discover Zambia
Shamba Travel Group brings together places to stay across Zambia: riverside lodges near Victoria Falls and on the Zambezi, a safari lodge on the Luangwa, an intimate bushcamp in the Chiawa GMA, and hotels for business and leisure in Kitwe and Solwezi.
Our focus is hospitality, personal service and the local culture of each place, and with African View Tours & Safaris we can plan the journey between them: flights, routing, transfers and experiences.
