Top 10 reasons to visit Zambia - Explore the heart of Africa

Zambia is a country abundant in natural beauty and local wildlife. Go there to have some wonderful adventures and explore the beauty of the African Continent.

1

Walking safaris

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.

2

Unexpected wildlife

The beauty of a walking safari is that 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.

3

National Parks

Go on a safari in Lower Zambezi National Park and Kafue. The guides are well-versed in all aspects of Zambian wildlife, starting from the lives of the bugs and birds to the Big Five. A walking tour here will be an extraordinary adventure! Just the thought of a large predator watching you along the long grass is bound to increase the sense of adventure and thrill.

4

Camp on the edge of the Zambezi

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, such as warm showers and bedding. It is usually on the edges of the Zambezi River. Sleeping in the heart of nature with only a layer of tent separating you and the elephants, lions, and hippos is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

5

Amazing Victoria Falls

It is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and has become a famous spot for thrill-seekers! Activities such as bungee jumping are popular, which is a 111-meter jump from the bridge at Victoria Falls. Or try a walking tour and experience the wonders of the Falls.

6

Traverse the Zambezi

Try rafting or canoeing on the Zambezi River below the Victoria Falls. Also, take a splash at the Devil's Pool. A nature made infinity pool was found at the very edge of the waterfall.

7

Visit Liuwa Plain

Witness the wildlife in Zambia. Here the game prefers to scatter out. You'll encounter the same exceptional level of guides similar to a walking safari and see the wild game living freely, such as lions, elephants, buffalo, and giraffes.

8

Explore Game along Luangwa River

The Luangwa River winds its way into the rich Rift Valley and offers myriad sightings of wild animals that live off the river. The environment supports thousands of hippos, many crocodiles, and perhaps even spot an elusive leopard! There are over 450 species of birds that thrive in the habitat.

9

A sunset cruise

Experience the sun setting over the majestic Zambezi River. It can be an intimate cruise on a smaller boat or join a sunset boat cruise. You may also get to see a wandering elephant, hippo and all kinds of birds in a romantic setting.

10

The local eats

Amidst all the adventures, don't forget to sample some of the local delicacies. 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, made from sweet potato leaves, tomatoes and groundnuts, to name just a few. In terms of accommodation, you can find many in Royal Livingstone, hotel such as the Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara is always a popular choice.
