Zambia is the source of two great river systems - the Zaire & the Zambezi. Nineteen designated National Parks cover eight percent of the landmass. Zambia is fast emerging into the limelight from a past where it was thought of as ‘darkest Africa. This is the land where Dr David Livingstone, forever known as the first European to gaze upon the spectacular Victoria Falls, died. A land of contrasts, a land of mysteries & a land of wonderful outdoor opportunities.

In the north lies Lake Tanganyika, second deepest lake in the world, where the icy cold waters at the bottom of the lake never mix with those at the upper levels & consequently, have lain there millions of years undisturbed & uncharted. To the south is Lake Kariba, a vast man-made lake which grew out of the dam built to span the Zambezi & flood its river valley. Here, the ancient but now dead trees, rise out of the waters as a stark reminder of once was verdant savannah country. Kariba contains some of the best sports fishing to be found in Africa, with an abundance of Tiger fish, renowned for their fierce antics, strength & courage when hooked. So too can sports fishermen test their skills against the cunning & guile of trophy sized Pike & Bream.

Yet like Zimbabwe which shares Lake Kariba as an international border, Zambia’s most famous waters are in fact Victoria Falls. Neither photos or television documentaries can aptly depict the sheer size, power, or the immensity of Victoria Falls. In flood, some 550 million cubic metres of Zambezi waters cascade into the canyon over 100m below & the resulting spray can be seen at ground level, more than 20kms distant. Known for this reason as ‘the smoke that thunders’ Victoria Falls has to be witnessed, to be truly absorbed or comprehended. The walking trails on the Zambia side are by far & away the best views & perspectives available.

Zambia is also deserved of its reputation as having a huge diversity of wildlife, animals, birds & reptiles. Both the Lower Zambezi National Park & the South Luangwa National Park are ideally suited for Big Game viewing & bird watching. Designated in 1938, the South Luangwa National Park is densely forested & verdant green.

The Lower Zambezi offers a wilderness like nowhere else in Africa & ideally suited to the slow meanderings of canoe safaris. An abundance of aquatic animals, hippo, crocodile & others of the ‘Big 5’ species - buffalo, elephant, lion & leopard inhabit the region - as it provides the exact terrain that each species thrives in. Zambia is an excellent walking safari destination. Guided by professional, qualified Rangers scouts who are armed for guests protection, their bush skills are finely honed to put you in a position of being close up, yet perfectly safe, with the animals who rule supreme.

Zambia’s best & easiest access gateways are either Lusaka, Victoria Falls or Livingstone. At any of these points of entry from the moment you arrive & clear Immigration & Customs procedures, you will be met & guided with a professionalism that ensures your experience in this exquisite wildlife haven, as being one of quality service & satisfaction.
