Set amidst the crossroads of Central, Southern and East Africa, the landlocked African nation of Zambia has remained, more or less, under the radar. Find yourself in paradise, where a slew of unspoilt wonders of nature awaits, ready to treat you to an adventure-rich getaway loaded with excitement.
Home to the world-renowned South Luangwa National Park aka The Valley of the Leopard, the incredibly wildlife-rich Kafue National Park and other sprawling wildernesses galore—Zambia is undeniably one, if not, the best destination on earth for wildlife safaris. While the African nation is blessed with quite a few national parks, what attracts the most crowds is east Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. Thanks to its sheer size, no matter whether hordes of tourists flock to the national park, you won't see any more than a handful of other safari jeeps sharing the wilderness with you. Hop out of your safari jeep and amble through the bush to engage in a thrilling walking safari that the national park is well-known for.
The fourth-longest river in Africa, none other than the stunning Zambezi River, is another mind-blowing creation of mother nature that makes Zambia what it is today, from the landlocked nation's name to its incredible tourism realm. Hop aboard a cruising vessel at sunset and soak up the scenic nature all around you as you meander down the unruffled waterway, while the adventurous can opt-in for some exciting canoeing.
Victoria Falls requires no introduction whatsoever and it is what puts Zambia on the map for most, if not, all of the south-central African nation's tourists. Behold the unreal cascading wonder of nature whilst creating wonderful and exquisite memories that make your trip to Zambia a worthwhile experience that needs to be had at least once in a lifetime. You could also find an elegant Livingstone hotel in Victoria Falls the likes of the Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara during your stay in Zambia.
In the midst of Zambia's wildlife-rich national parks and the slew of natural wonders is a man-made wonder of a bygone era that's just as enthralling. Make your way to the picturesque Shiwa Ng'andu, a colonial manor house, brimming with old-world charm, inviting you to relish a slice of colonial nostalgia.
Zambia isn't only a real-world tropical paradise that is blessed with spellbinding marvels, but also one of the safest countries in all of Africa that lets you vacation with complete peace of mind, as evidenced by the World Economic Forum (WEF). In fact, the landlocked nation is rated as safe as Great Britain.
