A world-renowned wildlife sanctuary, South Luangwa National Park is home to the abundant game that frequents the Luangwa River and its oxbow lagoons. The now-famous 'walking safari' originated here and remains one of the finest ways to experience Africa's pristine wilderness. It is known for its large herds of elephants, buffalo and hippo population that lives in its waterways. It is one of the few parks in Africa that offers grassy plains and enchanting woodlands. Its reputation for lush vegetation is well deserved, so when you're driving or walking through, you're greeted by unbridled beauty on every corner.
Lower Zambezi National Park is located in southeastern Zambia and covers thousands of square kilometres. The country's newest National Park is a delight for those who want an authentic wilderness experience. This park, along with the Mana Pools Reserve, lies on opposite banks of the river and together provide a huge wildlife sanctuary with exceptional game viewing. Wildlife here includes lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard, antelope and many species of birds. The area is bordered by dense riverine vegetation that gives way to floodplains, mopane forests and winter thorn trees. Fishing and canoeing are also a must!
Victoria Falls is a magnificent sight of awe-inspiring beauty on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The vast, basalt cliffs over which the falls thunder turn the Zambezi from a placid river into rapids that carve their way through dramatic gorges. The falls have been declared a National Park and World Heritage Site and are also one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. At the falls, you'll find activities like swimming, bungee jumping, and zip-lining. Additionally, there are calmer activities, including sunset cruises, walking tours and elephants interactions.
