Zambia

Zambia

Taking its name from the Zambezi River which rises in the north-west corner of the country and forms its southern boundary, Zambia provides a variety of waterfalls, cascades, rapids and flumes on its many waterways – including the legendary Victoria Falls.  The name Victoria Falls was originally coined by explorer and missionary David Livingstone. But the local people, both in Zimbabwe and Zambia, refer to Victoria Falls as “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” which means “the smoke that thunders”. Zambia is the land of the legendary African walking safari, the wild Zambezi River, breathtaking lakes and wetlands, a profusion of birds, abundant wildlife, and raw, pulsating wilderness, all in one friendly country.

    The name Victoria Falls was originally coined by explorer and missionary, David Livingstone. But the local people, both in Zimbabwe and Zambia, refer to Victoria Falls as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” which means “The Smoke that Thunders”. Due to the relentless mist above the falls created by the downward plummet of millions of gallons of water, a small rainforest has actually developed. Livingstone offers an ample array of activities, so why not take a microlight over this stunning region, canoe above the falls, or whitewater raft below them? Of course, you could also make time for the second highest bungee jump in the world from Victoria Falls Bridge. For an adventurous but adrenalin free alternative explore the Mukuni and Maramba cultural villages which provide a fascinating opportunity to observe traditional daily life.
