Zambia
Land of the legendary African walking safari, home of the Victoria Falls, the wild Zambezi River, breath-taking lakes and wetlands, a profusion of birds, abundant wildlife, and raw, pulsating wilderness, all in one friendly country. Acknowledged as one of the safest countries in the world to visit, Zambia's welcoming people live in peace and harmony. Blessed with 17 magnificent waterfalls apart from the spectacular Victoria Falls, Zambia offers tours to 'cascade followers' into the remote undeveloped rural areas where you can get a glimpse of village life. Zambia has the largest water resources in the whole of southern Africa with 5 massive lakes and plentiful rivers offering excellent fishing. A wide range of hi-action activities from the legendary Walking Safari deep in the wilderness, to world class River Rafting, Bunge into the deep gorge below the Victoria Falls, Abseiling, Canoeing Safaris down the Zambezi, River Surfing, excellent Tiger Fishing and breath-taking African sunsets.
The Victoria Falls
The enormous Zambezi River plunges 103 metres into a chasm almost 2km in length. In full flood the water makes a deafening roar throwing up towering clouds of spray which create multitudes of sparkling rainbows and constantly drenches the opposite cliff in rain. No trip to Zambia would be complete without seeing this incredible natural phenomenon, one of the seven wonders of the natural world.
The Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park
The 6,500ha Park extends around the falls and along the Zambezi River. A fenced off section, known as the Game Park, is the home to white rhinos which have been introduced and do not occur naturally in Zambia. Within the park is an area called the Old Drift – this is where the pioneers first settled and ferried their goods across the Zambezi before the bridge was built. The habitat is a mixture of riverine vegetation, dry mixed woodland and mopane. The game which may be seen in the park include zebra, waterbuck, hippo, impala, giraffe, elephant, kudu, warthog and buffalo.
The South Luangwa National Park
The Park is a world renowned wildlife sanctuary and one of the finest in Africa, with beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife of incredible diversity. Located in the Luangwa Valley, part of the Great Rift Valley System, the 9050 sqkm park is bounded by the Muchinga Escarpment in the west and the meandering Luangwa river to the east. The river is the lifeblood of the park, the extensive system of oxbow lagoons, wide grazing lawns and associated riverine vegetation attracting a diverse array of wildlife, which at times creates the feeling of being in the middle of the Garden of Eden. There are over 400 species of birds and 60 species of animals, including endemic populations of Thorneycroft's giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest, which are unique to the area.

The North Luangwa National Park
The Park is a remote wilderness area in the heart of Africa. There are no permanent tourist facilities and only three safari camps which are all located along the beautiful, clear waters of the Mwaleshi River. The emphasis is on walking safaris from these dry season camps and as such there are limited game viewing roads. The beauty of the park is its remoteness, perfect for Africa buffs wanting to get away from it all. Whilst there is plenty of game, there are not the same concentrations of animals as that found in South Luangwa National Park.
The Kafue
National Park
At 22,400 sqkm, the Kafue National Park is one of the largest parks in the world. When combined with the adjacent Game Management Areas it expands to 65,000 sqkm. That is a lot of Africa! The Kafue is the oldest park in Zambia, having been proclaimed in 1950, but still remains a raw slice of African wilderness. The beautiful, clear tree-lined Kafue River forms the eastern boundary of the park with several other, smaller versions of this picturesque river traversing the area. The predominant vegetation is miombo woodland interspersed with dambos and large grassy plains. Although miombo is not able to support vast numbers of game due to its poor nutritional value, it makes up for this in diversity of both game and bird life. In fact, with over 20 species, the Kafue is considered to have the largest diversity of antelope of any national park in the world.
The Lower Zambezi National Park
One of Zambia's premier wildlife areas with abundant bird and animal life. Located on the banks of the beautiful, clear Zambezi River and bordered on the northern side by the Muchinga escarpment, the park has some exceptionally picturesque scenery.
There is no disputing that Zambia offers a diverse and extraordinary range of attractions. The challenge is to ensure that you get the most out of your safari experience. For that, you need to rely on knowledgeable, experienced operator. So let us help you to organize your next safari to Zambia.
