• Zambia

    Zambia’s immense wilderness encompasses nineteen national parks teeming with abundant wildlife. The rich landscape varies between huge lakes, wide rivers, thundering waterfalls, vast wetlands, grassy plains, and lush forests. With some of the finest game sanctuaries in Africa, Zambia offers a wide range of Safaris in open vehicles, on foot, by boat or canoe, on horseback, or by micro light. Walking Safaris were pioneered in Zambia and enable intense close-up encounters with wildlife.

    Zambia has some of the best views of the magnificent Victoria Falls, a World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Zambia’s share of Lake Tanganyika forms part of the Great Rift Valley, edged by the Sumbu National Park, the harboor Town of Mpulungu, and the spectacular Kalambo Falls, the second highest Waterfall in Africa.

    Lake Kariba is conveniently situate only 120 miles south of Lusaka and features a magnificent setting combined with a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. A short distance downstream of Lake Kariba, the Zambezi Valley, fringed by rugged escarpment, forms a veritable wildlife menagerie. Lush floodplains, verdant woodlands, and permanent water attract elephant, buffalo, and antelope known to move in big herds. Additionally, the combination of the Zambezi River and diverse land habitats has resulted in a wide and prolific range of bird species. The breathtakingly scenic Lower Zambezi guarantees the absolute experience of “The Real Africa”.

    The capital city of Lusaka sits at the heart of the country and the crossroads of Southern Africa. It is a hive of commercial fervor and free enterprise, bustling with unique character and energy. The colorful local markets burst at the seams, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to print cloth and curios. The city’s many nightspots offer the exotic taste of local rhythms, music, and dancing.

    Zambia is a land of vast wilderness, rich cultures, prolific wildlife, and friendly people. Its diverse tribal and cultural heritage is evident in the fine craftwork, basketry, sculpture, and traditional ceremonies held all over the country each year.

    The soul of Zambia lies in its music, dance, and rich tradition of oral history, capturing the beat and rhythm of a vibrant continent as well as the mystery and magic of Zambia’s complex tribal history.
