Zambia

A landlocked country in southern Africa, famed for Victoria Falls and authentic walking safaris.

Zambia is a landlocked country in southern Africa. The Zambezi River runs along its southern border, and Zambia shares Victoria Falls with Zimbabwe. The country has many national parks: South Luangwa is the birthplace of the walking safari, the Lower Zambezi offers canoe-based wildlife viewing, Kafue is vast in scale, and Kasanka hosts the annual fruit bat migration. The dry season from May to October is the best time for wildlife viewing, while the falls are at their most spectacular in the high-water season. The main gateways are Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka and Livingstone Airport; to reach South Luangwa, fly to Mfuwe.
