We’ve been to Livingstone, Luangwa Valley and Lake Tanganyika multiple times as a family and we like to mix it up with 5 star and more rustic accommodation so we can enjoy life’s luxuries as well as feeling closer to nature. Ntanda Ventures consistently deliver a perfect tailored African Safari for us. The team thoughtfully compose brilliant itineraries to meet our different needs. Those who want to laze by the pool all day are utterly delighted (me) and the action-orientated ones jump around like ecstatic little monkeys with walks, tours and activities. I love Livingstone as it is super easy to get to and the Elephant cafe and the boat ride to get there... is thrilling every time. Ntanda come highly recommended and we can’t wait to go back to Livingstone, Luangwa Valley, Lake Tanganyika and hopefully add Lower Zambezi to the list too!
Dear Kerry,
I just wanted to thank you for our lovely trip — we truly enjoyed every moment of it. Our room was absolutely beautiful and wonderfully private. The staff at the lodge were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable.
It was an unforgettable experience and the perfect introduction to exploring Zambia! Everything was so well organized — one moment we were gliding along the Zambezi river in a canoe, and just a couple of hours later, we were back home playing with our dog.
All that to say — thank you for arranging such an exceptional trip! 😍
Best regards,
Carolina
Fantastic company to work with
We have just returned from a fantastic 3-week self-drive Zambian safari trip organised by Sonja at Ntanda. We did Kafue, Busanga Plains, South and North Luangwa and Luambe National Parks. Sonja’s assistance and communication via WhatsApp was just perfect, including organising a change to our itinerary half way through. For us it was a leap of faith transferring a large sum of money from the UK to a company in Zambia that we had never worked with before, but everything went very smoothly. Would have no hesitation in recommending Ntanda and using them again.
Ntanda Ventures. Just exceptional!
Ntanda Ventures did an exceptional job organizing our first trip to Zambia. First impressions were fantastic when Wanga reached out so quickly after our first enquiry. She was responsive and attentive to our requests. And the experience that was delivered was excellent. She even organized airport support to ensure we made our flights home. Fantastic customer care and attention, thank you Wanga!!
Ntanda is a must-have for a first-time visit to Zambia. They organized everything elegantly and excellently, seamless from arrival to departure in country. Wanga and her team made the whole process seamless!
Ntanda Ventures - vollste Zufriedenheit
We booked our first trip to Zambia through Daktari Travels in collaboration with Ntanda Ventures.
A few days before our trip, we received a WhatsApp message from Sonja Marx (Ntanda Ventures), who gave us many important tips about the itinerary, packing list, medications, behavior in the country, etc. This immediately built a great deal of trust.
Upon arrival in the country, Sonja always checked whether we (self-drivers) had already arrived at our respective accommodations. (If something had gone wrong, she would have had us search for them.) This, too, was a very good feeling.
During the entire trip (Livingstone-Ithezi Thezi - Northern Kafue NP - Busanga Plains - Lusaka - South Luangwa - Lower Zambezi), we didn't need any vouchers or any other documents. Everything had already been organized and sorted out in advance by Sonja.
The accommodations and car rental companies (Limo Car Hire) were truly excellently selected. Everything went absolutely smoothly, and we would book a trip with Sonja Marx again through Ntanda Ventures in a heartbeat. Thank you for the fantastic all-round support, kindness and warmth, Sonja!
Best regards from Austria, Doris and Andreas W.
Found Ntanda Ventures Ltd by random search & word of mouth - at very short notice they arranged a last minute booking safari trip to Zambia - all inclusive. They were very fast to reply and present available options, Christina was great to work with! Prompt communication was appreciated. The trip was amazing & included all driving transfers - everything went very smoothly, it was obvious Natanda Ventures had paid a lot of attention to detail.
We were invited to a wedding in Zambia…
We were invited to a wedding in Zambia and knew nothing of the country. We were put in touch with Kerry at Ntanda with the brief to arrange attendance at the wedding followed by a bucket list safari experience and Victoria Falls. The trip exceeded all our expectations. Kerry and Christina organised everything and despite the sometimes chaotic nature of the country everything ran smoothly and the organisation and transfers etc were all very efficiently handled. We had a fantastic time and have no hesitation in recommending their expertise and support
Nick and Rhian, England
Fast, efficient and easy bookings.
Website has loads of informative and up to date options.
The team arrange everything ahead of time with the lodges and camps that you intend to visit.
Must have outdoor experience …
Team Ntanda ventures you are simply doing an awesome job. The recent recommendation was our anniversary trip to Ila safari lodge who pulled out all the stops to give us a completely 5 star ⭐️ pampered, outdoor experience. The whole experience was coordinated so well, by both the lodge and Ntanda ventures. Thank you for a lovely experience.
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday experience in Zambia, which included hotels, flights, safari, activities. Kerry basically understood what we wanted more than we did and came up with the perfect itinerary for us. Everything was pre-arranged, so convenient and hassle free. Kerry responded immediately whenever I reached out. We also appreciate that we were given a few options to choose from - allowing us to suit our budget and preferences.
It was the trip of a lifetime
It was the trip of a lifetime! Everything was handled wonderfully so that all we had to do was show up and enjoy the safaris! Denise was amazing at setting up our adventures and always very responsive. Would recommend it 100%!
Brilliant Holiday to Zambia
We all really enjoyed our holiday in Zambia; the locations, accommodation and activities recommended and professionally booked for us by Christina at Ntanda Ventures were all amazing. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you to Ntanda Ventures (Christina and Kerry) for your help and advice which ensured we had the most perfect holiday seeing some of the wonderful places Zambia has to offer.
Perfection
Our trip to Zambia was perfectly arranged and one of the best holidays we have had!
Great experience - professional yet personal, would highly recommend
I came to Zambia for work and wanted to extend with a few extra days. With a bit short notice and for a holiday weekend Ntanda Ventures and Sonja helped me book a bush break in South Luangwa. Communication was easy and I really enjoyed the professional/knowledgeable but personal connection. My preferences were heard, all my questions answered and we worked together on finding a good fit. I was travelling alone and Sonja quickly understood what I was looking for and made suggestions based on local knowledge and experience, exactly what I needed! Due to unforeseen weather changes we had to make some changes to the plan and Sonja made sure to check with me what I would prefer and be okay with, and checked in with me along the way - everything was taken care of so I only had to enjoy the trip. It was a last minute plan, but she made it very easy and enjoyable for me - if I were to come back I would surely reach out and book through them again.
Met and surpassed expectations
Met and surpassed expectations. Took care of details and was available for any questions.
Ntanda ventures were amazing.They made booking our family trip to Sth Luangwa trouble free. Prompt replies to our many emails and professional customer service was always given. Would definitely use them for any future trips to Zambia.
Make it easy on yourself. Book with Ntanda Ventures.
Ntanda Ventures helped me plan and book a trip to Lower Zambezi while my brother was visiting the country. They were responsive whenever I had a question, were knowledgable about the options, and clearly listened when I gave them information or asked questions. I would book through them again in a heartbeat.
We both lived in Kitwe Zambia in the 60's,70's & early 80's and had not been back since I left in 1984. It was a wonderful memorable trip where we started in Lusaka, then went down to The Victoria Falls, back to Lusaka, up to Kitwe and finally to Luangwa Game Reserve. We met friends who we had not seen for over 30 years. A really wonderful trip all put together with the professional help of Ntanda Ventures.
05/Honest, Authentic, Professional and Understanding
Honest & Authentic: I can describe Ntanda Ventures as very organized with a unique personal touch and great understanding of the travelers wishes while adding the knowledge and experience of a national tour operator that knows the country and cares about its visitors.
Ntanda Ventures offered one of the best experiences in my 20 years of professional and private travel in Africa. Ntanda Ventures was recommended to me by a collegue who works in Zambia. In my careeer as a conservationist I have been to many places in Africa. I recently had an oppertunity to visit Zambia on a work trip and wanted to add a few days as a holiday. Kerry & Christina from Ntanda really wanted to understand my idea of a safari and they proposed a trip to McBrides camp (I highly recommend McBrides!) in Kafue National Park based on my wishes. It was a perfect match!
Ntanda Ventures really wants to understand the wishes of their clients and tries to offer thém the experience that fits! (rather than fitting the client into a package deal...) Ntanda offers that personal touch that is often hard to find!
The logistics such as cars with a responsible driver, hotesl and other travel preparations where carefully prepared and worked out well. I had payed in advance so I had no worries about the bills and prices which is very convenient if you are on a break.
Zambia is a beautiful country with a lot of untouched spaces & National Parks full of wildlife, birds and culture that is rarely seen in Africa.
I would come back to Zambia whenever I can and would ask Ntanda again to organize my trip.
Utter care and professionality
I traveled to Zambia with a friend in December 2021, on a trip organized by Kerry at Ntanda Ventures. I don't usually book with a travel operator but I decided to give it a try, and what a pleasant surprise it was. Kerry organized a one week trip that made us discover two of the best sites Zambia can offer: the South Luangwa National Park, and the Victoria Falls at Livingstone. In both sections of the trip, I really felt the attention to detail and the professionality of somebody who's been in the travel industry for long, knows the ins and out of the country, and knows how to handle unexpected changes a customer might face in light of the pandemic. My friend and I contracted a Covid infection just a week short of traveling to Zambia, and Kerry took care of rescheduling everything for us. On our way to the country, we read on the news that Zambia might put in quarantine, but Kerry was reassured us that it was not official news and told us exactly what to do at the border to have a smooth entrance into the country. Both the campsite at the South Luangwa NP and the hotel in Livingstone were marvelous and really made us feel us spoiled. Activities had been organized for us for every day, including game drives and a boat cruise, and we always had somebody from the two accomodations taking care of us, picking us at the airport and helping us during our stay, always with Kerry in the background for additional help. Overall, a great vacation and a great and professional tour operator. Thank you Kerry for your hard work!
An experience to never forget
A friend and I visited Zambia and Ntanda Ventures took care of the organization of the trip.
Kerry knew exactly what kind of itinerary we were looking for and schedule a trip that was far beyond our imagination.
We visited South Luangwa National Park and from there we finished in Victoria Falls. Even though it was a short itinerary, Kerry took care of us in a marvelous way. Not only the planning of the tour was fantastic, but also her work as an organizer. Even though my friend and I contracted Covid some days before our visit, Kerry took care of rescheduling everything and keeping our itinerary as flexible as possible.
It was a trip we will always remember and I can't imagine a better operator to contact when visiting Zambia.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
Ntanda Ventures is one of the most fantastic travel agencies!
We booked a tour to Zambia (Kafue National park, Victoria falls and South Luangwa national park) through them. Kerry and Christina helped us with everything from accommodation, special food orders, transfers between camps, flight tickets, PCR-test etc. !I have travelled to South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Indien. However, this is definitely the best travel agency I've ever booked from I honestly feel like Kerry and Christina are my friends that I've never met in real life. Thank you so much for your professional and loving help!
My go-to team in Africa
The Ntanda team has done a brilliant job for us and designed an itinerary to perfectly match our dreams. We like to mix up the rustic bush with a little luxury to make the most of the wilderness, natural beauty and simply lie by the pool. Highlights have been a road trip to Kapishya Hot Springs and Africa House and Lake Tanganyika.
Livingstone has to be my favourite destination as there is so much to choose from. We loved David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Siankaba. Siankaba offers absolute tranquility with cheeky monkeys and beautiful bird life.
We are looking forward to visiting the Luangwa Valley next.
You will never go wrong using Natandaventures! I am working on my 3rd trip to Mfuwe…
I am working on my 3rd trip to Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia. Kerry picked the lodge and it couldn’t be any better! I sometimes text her and and ask lots of questions. And she always replies. I think of Kerry as a friend I have not met (yet!).
5 Star Service.
The attention to detail was 2nd to none. Ntanda Adventures thought of everything to make my trip relaxed and memorable. Can’t wait to go back and do it all again!

Just wanted to say thank you for organising our superb trip to the Lower Zambezi! The Royal was absolutely fantastic! Beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms, great service , delicious food and incredible game viewing! We went into the National Park , saw 6 leopards in two days, 2 of which were fighting over territories. A huge herd of buffalo coming down to the watering hole, the Brutal brothers male lions , so many elephants and their babies - we even had one wondering around the camp! Our sightings were endless! The staff have created a wonderful, friendly environment. Everyone is helpful and hospitable, we even had a watercolour art lesson whilst there! Thank you everyone, The Royal is certainly a choice destination and we’ll be back soon!
