In 2018 Zambia was considered one of the safest African countries to visit by the US Department of State and several other travel organisations. According to the Global Peace Index evaluation Zambia has been stable for a considerable amount of years and scored high.
Victoria Falls is a stunning location to visit at least once in your lifetime and this breathtaking location is situated in Zambia. You can get up close and personal with an absolutely stunning view of the waterfall and even take a dip in the natural pool known as Devil's Pool if you wish to dare.
A safari is a must-do activity in Africa and the wildlife along the Zambezi River can be explored from a river cruise as you enjoy the surroundings and the cool air while taking in the view of nature.
For those who enjoy a good adrenaline rush, there are several daring activities that you can try. Ziplining, bungee jumping, and white water rafting are a few of the activities that are bound to get your heartbeat racing and make you enjoy that adrenaline rush.
While you can experience luxury from hotels and resorts such as Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara you will also be able to experience picture-perfect sunsets during your stay in Zambia. There are so many different locations you can witness these from but the sun skinking into the Zambezi River is a view that you will never forget,
There are performances, acts, and theatre performances where you can learn and witness the culture, history, and traditions. You will be able to learn about the development and the present-day practices when it comes to the culture in Zambia and other African countries.
If there is one thing the natives love to do, that is to dance away all their worries, fears, and concerns. They use dancing in many different forms as there is dancing involved for happy events as well as sad events which involve chanting. Combined with the drums and the happy upbeat music the food and wine make a perfect combination to dance the night away.
There are several museums you can visit during your trip to Zambia as there are developed well-maintained museums that can provide ample information not only about Zambia but about the neighbouring African countries as well. Many Livingstone hotel and resort establishments will be able to provide information about the different museums and historical places you can visit.
Apart from the sunsets and the wildlife, you will also be able to see rolling mountains and clear blue skies that feel like they are out of a detailed painting. The flower gardens and the riversides come alive with flora and fauna that make for breathtaking sceneries.
