Zambia’s flourishing border town, Livingstone, or Maramba, is situated in the South Province of the country. The British colonial city is a tourism centre for the nearby Victoria Falls, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, and the Zambezi River. Continuously growing, this romantic destination is rich in culture and history, with a host of adrenaline-infused experiences to choose from including bungee jumping, abseiling, gorge swinging, white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, and jet boating. For visitors seeking a more relaxed experience, there are countless other activities on offer too. Visit the fascinating Livingstone Museum, take a helicopter flight over the roaring fall, or experience a superb game drive in the UNESCO-listed Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, home to African elephants, hippopotamus, and an impressive variety of bird species.
Located in southern Zambia along the border with Zimbabwe, the Lower Zambezi region is renowned for its spectacular wilderness and the wildlife-rich Lower Zambezi National Park. One of Africa’s most unspoilt safari destinations, the area is characterised by vast floodplains, indigenous woodlands, and the mighty Zambezi River, which supports an abundance of wildlife. Visitors can expect to see elephants, hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, fish eagles, and a variety of other species in their natural habitat. The region offers a diverse range of safari experiences, including game drives, guided walking safaris, canoe excursions along the river, and some of the finest tiger fishing opportunities in Africa.
Zambia holds one of Southern Africa’s greatest unspoiled wilderness areas, 9,050 sq km of grasslands, oxbow lagoons and riverine forests.
The South Luangwa National Park, also known as valley of the Leopards is home to one of the highest concentrations of game anywhere in the world and is one of the few places in Africa to allow night game drives and walking safaris.
The park is often described as Zambia’s premier safari destination, foremost for the variety of species seen when visiting and the pristine woodland and riverine vegetation plays host to over 60 mammal and 400 bird species.
South Luangwa is the most impressive of National Parks, with incredible wildlife populations and continually enthralling sightings. Not only is it home to unique species such as wild dog, it also offers visitors the chance to experience big game such as lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, hippo, zebra and of course the Thornicroft Giraffe.
The night drives take the wildlife opportunities up a level. Not only for the chance of seeing a pack of lions or leopard but for the many interesting animals that only come to life at night. Genets, civets, servals, hyenas, and bushbabies, nightjars and the grass-mowing hippos.
