Zambia boasts a rich history, breathtaking natural beauty and impressive wildlife. For many travel enthusiasts, it presents the opportunity to immerse oneself in a number of fun activities while enjoying the travel experience of a lifetime.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is one of the world’s largest waterfalls. It offers a sight nothing short of spectacular and can be admired from various viewpoints. The Knife-Edge Bridge is a viewpoint worth considering as it offers the opportunity to experience the thundering waterfall up close. If you visit between September and November when the water level is at its lowest, you can take a dip in the exhilarating Devil’s Pool – a natural infinity pool formed by a rock barrier at the edge of the falls.
Wildlife and natural beauty at Kafue National Park
When in Zambia, a visit to the Kafue National Park is an excellent idea. Kafue is one of the largest parks in Africa and also the least visited among Zambia’s major parks. Thus, you can expect to enjoy an experience with fewer crowds.
Apart from game drives, you can also enjoy boat rides and walking safaris. The park is also perfect for birdwatching as it is home to over 490 species of birds.
Drift along the Lower Zambezi
