Visit the Unspoilt
Zambia is commonly regarded as one of the most beautiful, friendly, diverse and unspoilt countries on the entire African continent. It is characterised by its miombo woodlands, large lakes and vast floodplains as well as spectacular waterfalls and mighty rivers. It is a green oasis of national parks fed by rivers and wetlands that attract a huge variety of animals.Zambia is also best known as the “origin” of the walking safari and its wildlife guides are among the highest qualified in Africa. They’ll show you how to track animals, identify birds from their calls and discover the hidden world of insects as you walk through the bush.Apart from Victoria Falls, the world's largest waterfall, Zambia remains a mostly unknown entity even to more intrepid travelers which is a pity as it is one of the last true wilderness areas in Africa, some say an undiscovered gem.The distances by road are vaste so generally it is best visited by scheduled or charter air services.
Victoria Falls is a magnificent waterfall on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe. Known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke that Thunders," it is the world's largest curtain of falling water, nearly two kilometers wide. David Livingstone named the falls after Queen Victoria and the nearby island after himself. Adventurers can swim in the Zambezi River, and some can safely sit at the edge of the falls, experiencing the Devil's Pool, a natural infinity pool. The falls can be viewed from both Zambia and Zimbabwe.
