Zambia is a landlocked gem in South Africa offering glorious sunsets, ancient traditions and mystic legends, and nature at its wildest and most exquisite.

The legendary African walking safari, earth’s biggest waterfall, the wild Zambezi River, breathtaking lakes and wetlands, profusion of birds, abundant wildlife, and raw, pulsating wilderness are all available in this one friendly country.

Its neighboring countries are the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west.

The capital city is Lusaka, located in the south-central part of the country. The population is concentrated mainly around the capital Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt to the northwest. The country’s 19 game parks and 34 game reserves are 30% of Zambia’s land.

Some game reserves are privately owned while the major ones are state-controlled. Its wide variety and profusion of wildlife both large and small include over 740 bird species as well.

Zambia as an African safari has captured the market of international tourists including the upper-class traveler of the world with the concept of traditional villages and theme-designed hotels and lodges that are unique and colorful because of the phenomenal culture of the local people’s hospitality and the beautiful landscape. Seven waterfalls include magnificent Victoria Falls with its awe-inspiring and spectacular views. Livingstone offers a wide variety of high-action adventure including world-class river rafting, bungi jumping into the deep gorge below the falls, abseiling, canoeing safaris down the Zambezi, river surfing, tiger fishing, microlight flips over the Falls, and zigzagging gorges cut down by the river over 164 feet deep. Houseboat tours and enjoying Africa’s breathtaking sunsets from Lake Kariba are another thrill for guests.
