Why Zambia
Zambia repays the traveller generously. It has thundering waterfalls, national parks that are still properly wild, a rich culture, tranquil scenery and wildlife encounters as genuine as any in Africa. Victoria Falls is here, along with the walking safaris of South Luangwa, the river country of the Lower Zambezi, the great empty spaces of Kafue and people whose welcome is sincere. A safari in Zambia feels natural, adventurous and hard to forget.
Zambia is in Southern Africa and belongs on any list of places to see in a lifetime. Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo surround it. It suits travellers who want wildlife, scenery, culture, time on the river and some adventure, all in one trip.
If you love nature and prefer it quiet, this is your country. In a single visit you can feel the spray of Victoria Falls on your face, follow animals on foot, drift down the Zambezi, watch elephants pass through the bush and sit out a still sunset, on a safari with fewer vehicles and more room to yourself.
In Zambia you do not just look at wildlife. You are close to it.
A first safari, a honeymoon, a photography trip, a family adventure or one stage of a longer African journey: Zambia makes each of them honest, unpolished and memorable.
The Victoria Falls Experience
Victoria Falls is Zambia’s best-known natural sight and one of the great waterfalls of the world.
Its local name is Mosi-oa-Tunya, “The Smoke That Thunders”, and it earns it. The mist, the roar and the sheer size of the falling water make a visit far more than a photo stop.
Around Livingstone you can walk to the viewpoints, join a guided tour, take photographs, go on a sunset cruise, meet local culture and try a range of adventure activities.
Kafue National Park
Kafue is one of the biggest national parks in Zambia and one of the wildest. Come here for space and scenery, and for a safari well away from the busier circuits. Woodland, open plains, rivers and wetlands all lie within it, each with its own wildlife, which makes the park a good choice if you like wilderness and variety.
People remember Kafue for its calm and for how untouched it feels. It suits travellers who want to see Zambia off the usual routes, on a safari that is spacious, quiet and true to the place.
The Zambezi River Experience
The Zambezi is one of the great rivers of Southern Africa. In Zambia it gives you fine views, sunset cruises, boat safaris, canoeing, fishing, bird watching and peaceful hours by the water. Many safari routes follow it, because the river draws the animals and shapes the landscape.
Time on the Zambezi is an ideal way to mix a little adventure with proper rest.
Livingstone Adventure Experiences
Livingstone is the adventure capital of Zambia and the gateway to Victoria Falls. If you want to do more than look, there is a great deal on offer: activities on the river, scenic flights, cultural tours, markets, museums and sunset cruises. It is also a good place to add some excitement before a safari or after one.
The town works for couples, families and groups alike, and for anyone who wants nature, culture, history and a thrill or two together.
