Zambia is a famous safari destination that is equally renowned for its adventure activities. Situated next to Zimbabwe, this lush country offers spectacular game viewing opportunities. Enjoy a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, view a host of wildlife including lion and elephant and visit the ‘Smoke that Thunders’, the name given by the locals to the mighty Victoria Falls, which are considered the planet’s most breathtaking waterfalls.  

Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, is one of Africa’s most gracious cities, with elegant, broad tree-lined avenues and some fine colonial-style buildings. A place of outstanding beauty, Lake Kariba is a vast man-made lake surrounded by some magnificent national parks in both Zambia and neighbouring Zimbabwe. The banks of the Lower Zambezi and Luangwa Rivers teem with wildlife and these remote, and relatively undeveloped destinations are also a game lover’s paradise.
