Best Things to do In Zambia, according to a local - Some tips for a great time!

When visiting Zambia, a walking safari is a must! A walking safari is an intimate, on-foot safari that started in South Luangwa during the 1950s. It has from then on become the best way to immerse in the landscape of Zambia. You may stumble upon a variety of sights, such as a wallowing hippo, a recently hatched crocodile egg, or see a newly born infant giraffe wobbling on its young legs.
Among the popular places includes Lower Zambezi National Park and Kafue. In South and North Luangwa, you may perhaps find only camps that provide walking safaris. The conducting guides have to go through an exam and deliver an exceptional level of participation and learning to each bushwalk. They are well-versed in all aspects of Zambian wildlife, starting from the lives of the bugs and birds to the Big Five. Such walks make for an extraordinary adventure! Just the thought of a large predator watching you along the long grass is bound to increases the sense of adventure and thrill.

It doesn't have to be in tents, although that is possible. You can even go a more luxurious route by opting for a camping lodge with all the amenities you would require. If you want to go the more traditional way, the well-equipped campsites in Zambia are great! With warm showers and wilderness journeys that include pop-up camping in the wild. It is usually on the edges of the Zambezi River. Sleeping in the heart of nature with only a layer of tenting separating elephants, lions and hippos is once in a lifetime opportunity.

It is one of the seventh natural wonders of the world and has become a famous spot for thrill-seekers! Activities such as bungee jumping are popular, it is a 111-meter jump from the bridge at Victoria Falls. Or try rafting or canoeing on the Zambezi River below. The Devil's Pool is a nature made infinity pool found at the very edge of the waterfall.

Witness the wildlife in Zambia. Tours are required in larger national parks, such as Liuwa Plain. Here the game prefers to scatter out. You'll encounter the same exceptional level of guides similar to a walking safari and be taken to see the wild game living in the parks, such as lions, elephants, buffalo, and giraffes.

Amidst all the adventures, don't forget to sample some of the local delicacies. Make sure to try out dishes like Chibwabwa, a vegetable and groundnut infused stew eaten nshima, a thick porridge made from maize. Chikanda, a snack made from orchid tubers. Kalembula is made from sweet potato leaves, tomatoes and groundnuts, to name just a few. In terms of accommodation, you can find a premier room in hotels such as the Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara.
