Zambia
Zambia may be more than half again the size of Botswana, yet it is still relatively unknown as a safari destination. A vast and largely unspoilt land, Zambia is home to 19 National Parks, the Victoria Falls (which it shares with Zimbabwe), and some breath-taking scenery – including 5 lakes and 17 waterfalls.
Safaris are becoming more and more of interest - and the country is renowned for walking safaris in the South Luangwa National Park, which also boasts some of the best guides in Africa, and an abundance of wildlife in general. The Lower Zambezi National Park is the newest addition, and sits across the Zambezi floodplain from Zimbabwe’s famous Mana Pools.
Kafue National Park, Zambia’s biggest, is getting more exposure, and is also well worth a visit, although still a highly seasonal destination. Of recent years, Zambia has also become known for its adventure activities, centred on the town of Livingstone, at the Victoria Falls. Here, visitors can experience the wildest one day rafting in the world, bungee jump off the bridge that spans the Zambezi River gorge, abseil, canoe, kayak……Many areas are also excellent for fishing – tiger in particular being popular.
There is an excellent network of flights connecting the major centres, and National Parks, which makes for some exceptional and diverse Safari arrangements. You can connect to the Capital, Lusaka, for onward arrangements to most of the National Parks.
