Zambia is an exciting land , part of what was once called 'darkest Africa', the land in which Livingstone died and a land of mighty waters. Zambia is fed and shaped by three great rivers, bordered by three massive lakes and big, big skies.  Zambia beckons to the intrepid, the adventurous - those who want to step off the conveyor belt of mass tourism. In the north lies Lake Tanganyika, second deepest lake in the world, where the waters at the bottom of the lake never mix with the upper, and in consequence may have lain there for twenty million years. In the south is Lake Kariba, a vast lake created by what was once the largest ever man-made dam. The lake contains one of the best game fish available to the angler, the tiger fish, whose strength and courage make for an exhilarating contest. Yet Zambia's most famous "mighty waters" are those shared with Zimbabwe, the Victoria Falls. 

Known by the local Kololo tribe, in the nineteenth century, as "the smoke that thunders", the immense scale of the Victoria Falls is absolutely breathtaking. At the height of the wet-season five hundred and fifty million cubic meters of Zambezi water roar over the edge of a basalt cliff into a dramatic gorge over one hundred meters below. This area is becoming known for adventure-sports. White-water rafting and bungi jumping are both available here for those seeking the adrenaline rush. After a white-knuckle ride you could take a gently relaxing canoe trip. Variety is the spice of life! There is also an excellent craft village nearby where you may buy the beautifully figured green malachite which the Zambians use to such effect. Intricate jewelry and wood carvings are among the host of other curios and crafts you may buy or even barter for. 

Zambia is deservedly famous for its diversity of wildlife. Both the Lower Zambezi National Park and South Luangwa National Park are ideal for game viewing. Created in 1938, South Luangwa is green and fertile and boasts lush riverain forest near the banks of the Luangwa River. Lower Zambezi is a wonderful wilderness area where many take to canoes in order to enjoy a tranquil and close-up wildlife experience. Both areas offer an abundance of hippos, buffalo, good numbers of elephant and much other game. The big predators are also here, including the hard-to-find leopard and there is an amazing concentration of bird life. Zambia is terrific for walking safaris - scouts are armed and highly skilled. This is the place to try for a closer look at flora and fauna. From the southern shores of Lake Tanganyika in northern Zambia to the shores of Lake Kariba; from the vast Barotse Floodplains to the rich wilderness of Zambia's world renowned Luangwa Valley; from the sparkling waters of Lake Bangweulu and the endless surrounding wetlands to the spectacular beauty and abundance of the Busanga Plains in Kafue National Park; from the magnificent Victoria Falls to Zambia's diverse cultural ceremonies. ... this is Zambia and this is the real Africa!

Come to Zambia and experience the finest African safaris available. See the astonishing wildlife of Luangwa Valley, home of the legendary walking safari; the graceful lechwe antelope filling the vast plains of Busanga and Bangweulu in their tens of thousands; the annual wildebeest migration of the Liuwa Plains which rivals the Serengeti; the white-water rafting frenzy of the Zambezi River ; the adrenaline choked bungi jump off Victoria Falls Bridge; the limitless expanse of lakes Kariba and Tanganyika, fishing, diving, house-boating, skiing and paddling, canoeing, birding and wildlife safaris par excellence.
