This unique, peanut-shaped country, once known as Northern Rhodesia, offers visitors an authentic African experience complete with adrenalin pumping adventure sports, a variety of fascinating cultural activities, and an abundance of indigenous wildlife, which finds refuge in Zambia’s vast national parks. Spend your evenings enjoying the spectacular site of the world’s largest waterfall, the Victoria Falls, while sipping on sundowners after an exhilarating day of whitewater rafting down the rapids of the mighty Zambezi River. If that sounds a little too adventurous for your taste, take a houseboat cruise along the exquisite Lake Kariba while watching wild elephants drink at the riverbank as you try your hand at catching the elusive tiger fish. However you choose to spend your time in this unique country, you are bound to leave with a heavy heart and a desire to return again soon to this exceptionally beautiful Southern African country.
Bordering the Luangwa River, the northern and southern Luangwa National Parks contain some of the most breathtaking and untouched wilderness in Africa. As a result of this and the parks’ successful anti-poaching campaigns, the area has developed into a world-renowned wildlife haven. The South Luangwa National Park is renowned for its walking safari, which allows visitors to view elephant, hippo and even lion close-up under the supervision of professional and knowledgeable armed guides.
Situated in eastern Zambia within the Great Rift Valley, the Luangwa Valley’s protected areas, including South Luangwa National Park, North Luangwa National Park and Luambe National Park, form one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife regions. The meandering Luangwa River shapes this remote wilderness landscape, with seasonal floodplains and open woodland, creating a haven for diverse wildlife. Visitors can experience world-class game viewing, with opportunities to see elephants, hippos, giraffes, lions, leopards and wild dogs on guided safaris. The region is especially renowned for walking safaris, offering an intimate way to explore the bush. With fewer visitors than many African safari destinations, the Luangwa Valley delivers an authentic and immersive wilderness experience.
