Magnificent Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world, is truly awe-inspiring. It is the result of the mighty Zambezi River tumbling to a depth of more than 350 feet and stretching over 1 mile wide. Known by the local people as Mosi-oa-tunya – “The smoke that thunders” – its spray can be seen 18 miles away! The Falls is shared by Zambia and Zimbabwe, and visitors can easily cross over to experience the view, and partake in activities, on both sides.
Set in Zambia, the Kafue National Park is the largest park in the country and the second-largest in Africa. The contrasting landscape of the Central Kafue features riverine bush, miombo and savannah woodlands, vast open plains and majestic granite outcrops. Visitors can enjoy the pristine natural beauty of the diverse scenery and its natural, unspoilt beauty. Drive along the Spinal Road for a chance to discover the most remote parts of the Central Kafue National Park. Don't miss the opportunity to spot a wide range of African wildlife with regular sightings of puku, impala and bushbuck and catch a glimpse of the countless bird species that call this area home.
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.
The Lower Zambezi National Park has a magnificent location, nestled between the mighty Zambezi River and a dramatic escarpment that keeps the wildlife on the plains and woodlands below. With the Mana Pools Reserve on the opposite side of the river (Zimbabwe), the entire area is one enormous wildlife sanctuary, home to large herds of elephant and buffalo, prides of lion, leopards, hyenas, jackals, hippos, crocodile, zebra, and over 400 species of birds. Although not as diverse as many of Zambia’s other parks, what makes experiences here so special is the river that runs through it. With little permanent water, wildlife is concentrated around the Zambezi, offering visitors spectacular opportunities to get close to animals by exploring its many channels, lagoons, islands, and floodplains. Safaris by boat and canoe provide a glimpse of animals grazing and drinking on the riverbanks, or a thrilling chance to approach pods of hippos in their water world, observing them from an entirely different point of view.
