SPLENDOURS OF THE ZAMBEZI
Touted as one of the world’s largest waterfalls, the spectacular Victoria Falls (known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or the ‘smoke that thunders’) is a must-visit. The six waterfalls plummeting down the Zambezi truly is a sight to behold, with huge clouds of spray creating the most mesmeric rainbows. Enjoy a morning walking tour to see the falls from various vantage points – and for the real adventure seekers, take a dip in the Devil’s Pool; a natural rock pool on the edge with nothing but dramatic views. For an extra special viewpoint, take a helicopter tour to witness a natural wonder of the world in all its glory.
For fine game viewing, the South Luangwa National Park is a secluded and picturesque region offering one of the highest concentration of animals in Africa and is widely regarded as the perfect place for a walking safari. A large crocodile and hippo population can be seen along the Luangwa River, while elephants, leopards and lions roam the land.
Alternatively, the Lower Zambezi National Park is an unspoilt wilderness also offering spectacular wildlife viewing allowing tourists to get close to elephants and buffalo at the water’s edge on a thrilling canoe or boat safari.
Whatever you chose, Zambia has a plethora of wildlife, vast savannahs and winding waterways, and is the ideal destination for a twin-centre holiday. Combine your safari and falls trip, with a visit to nearby Zimbabwe or Cape Town. Enquire now for more information!
