Zambia Safaris. A Zambia safari would be incomplete without a visit to the renowned Kafue National Park , the largest and oldest National Park in Zambia. It offers the safari enthusiast a wide variety of animals including Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Buffalo, Zebra, Hippo and antelope. |
|
The Kafue River cuts through the park from north to south and is dammed to form a lake, Lake Itezhi-tezhi, that serves the park. This area is also home to the Red Lechwe and the Sitatunga, a swamp antelope with widesplayed hooves which enables it to walk on floating mats of reeds. There is a rich variety of birdlife, providing excellent photographic opportunities on a Zambia safari. |

River Tours. From the drifting, tanquility aboard the river boat, African Queen, or on foot in the company of park rangers, you can appreciate the vastly differing perspectives of Zambian safari along the Zambezi River. |
 |
|
Canoeing and Adventure safaris offer you a unique style of game viewing in the game-rich area of the Lower Zambezi Valley where, after each day's adventure, accommodation is either camping on selected islands or in the comfort of riverside lodges. |
| Visit Victoria Falls
The majestic Victoria Falls straddle the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the Wonders of the World and proves to be a highlight on any Zambian safari. This beautiful country can be reached by scheduled flight from either Johannesburg, Harare or Windhoek to the Zambian capital of Lusaka, or fly to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and transfer by road over the Zambezi to Livingstone. |
| Throw Yourself from the Bridge
Livingstone is the centre for a host of adventure, scenic and cultural activities. Take a guided tour around Livingstone Museum, named after English explorer David Livingstone to get your perspective of Zambia's history.That done, go wild over the Falls by micro-light, helicopter, or balloon and get a sense of power and majesty before submitting to the gruelling strain of white-river rafting through the gorges. If you are truly suicidal you can go river boarding or kayaking on the rapids. But nothing will compare to hurling your self into the Batoka Gorge from the Victoria Falls Bridge. This is the worlds highest bungi jump from a bridge, and as the cable snaps you back up, you can admire this historic civil engineering landmark, and wonder why you didn't go on a horseback trail.

By far, the most novel way of safari in Zambia, is on Elephant Back. It would be a pity to come this far, and not saddle up and head out into the bush, or along the Zambezi river bank. |
