Zambia is an expansive, friendly, peaceful country with outstanding wildlife and cultural encounters. It is one of south-central Africa’s least travelled and most rewarding wilderness destinations.
Situated on a seemingly endless plateau 1200 metres above sea level, the country boasts the Zambezi, Kafue and Luangwa rivers and Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the world, which it shares with neighbouring Zimbabwe.
Most of the country enjoys a mild, pleasant climate, with the river valleys hotter and more humid and the north, in the region of Lake Tanganyika (one of Zambia’s ten large lakes), tropical.
While Lusaka is the country’s capital, Livingstone, just 10 km from Victoria Falls, is the well-known “adventure capital”, offering adrenaline-packed activities on and around the Falls and the Zambezi River.
Regarding wildlife, Zambia offers impressive diversity, large concentrations and numbers, and some of the continent’s wildest and most remote game areas. In Zambia, the concept of walking safaris originated as the best way of enjoying the rich flora and fauna of the country’s 19 national parks. Birdlife is particularly prolific, attracting birders from all over the world.
With so much to explore one visit is just never enough!
