Zambia is a mesmerising country of life-affirming beauty and natural wonders. Here you can explore Victoria Falls by swimming right up to the edge of the drop, visit South Luangwa National Park for snapshots of elusive animals or cruise along the Zambezi River. Thrill-seekers can discover Zambia by white water-rafting in rapids near Victoria Falls or by abseiling across valleys. Others can opt for an unforgettable wildlife experience, camping in parks and swapping stories around the fire.
For the perfect safari, visit South Luangwa National Park. The park has a high density of big game and is so big that you are unlikely to see another vehicle crowding around an animal. The park is best for spotting the usually elusive leopard, notoriously one of the hardest animals to see on safari.
You can head down to Lake Kariba, the largest man-made body of water in Africa, for incredible African sunsets, sunbathing, watersports, fishing and swimming. Or visit the fascinating colonial manor house of Shiwa Ng’andu, located among the rolling granite hills that form the tail end of the Great Rift Valley, an area of unsurpassed natural beauty.
