For AdventureWomen’s 25th anniversary year, we are returning to our favorite continent, Africa, for a unique wildlife safari experience for women. Our new destination in Africa is Zambia, a country that has come of age. It is viewed by African safari connoisseurs and wildlife aficionados as the informed traveler’s choice for wildlife viewing and is regarded by many as the African continent's greatest secret.

For a completely unique experience of the “Real Africa," and by special arrangement just for AdventureWomen, this custom-designed wildlife safari in Zambia’s “big game” country incorporates a fascinating, practical, and fun “Bush Skills” course for six days, plus offers a safari and wildlife viewing experience for the remainder of our adventure in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. We will study from one of Zambia’s leading professional guides how safari guides are trained, and learn about: basic tracking; spotting and radio procedures; survival skills; bush cuisine preparation; how and where to use a weapon; identification of mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, and vegetation; and basic bush first aid. This is a RARE and ONE-TIME opportunity to experience Africa in this very authentic and intimate way, working with one of Zambia’s foremost teachers and training guides.

If you love animals, are fascinated by the amazing African continent, or have ever dreamed of being a “tracker” in the bush on a “big game” safari (!), this might be your calling! The ultimate adventure vacation, a safari in the African wilderness is healing, energizing, inspiring and liberating, all at the same time. Africa is our passion, and we invite you to join us on yet another once-in-a-lifetime journey to this magnificent continent.
