Gavin Opie Safaris is run by Gavin Opie, one of Zambia’s leading safari guides. Gavin has spent most of his life living and working in Zambia’s wild places and he has a gift for sharing his passion for this wonderful place.

Gavin is a proud champion of ethical safari guiding, so you can trust that your safari is making a positive impact on the wildlife, environment and communities of the Luangwa Valley. In fact, we contribute over US$20 per guest per night to local conservation and community projects right here is the Luangwa.

For scenery, variety and density of animals, South Luangwa is the best park in Zambia and one of the most majestic in Africa.
