Zambia

Nestled in the heart of Southern Africa, Zambia is a captivating destination that promises an authentic and enriching travel experience. Bordering eight countries, this landlocked gem is renowned for its diverse culture, breathtaking landscapes, thrilling adventures, and remarkable wildlife. Zambia’s tourism is built on five pillars: business, culture, adventure, wildlife, and heritage. Whether you’re an intrepid traveler, a culture enthusiast, or a business professional, Zambia has something unique to offer.

Vibrant Culture and Rich Heritage

Zambia is a melting pot of cultures, with over 73 ethnic groups living harmoniously. This cultural mosaic is celebrated through nearly 30 traditional ceremonies held throughout the year. These events, with their preserved rituals and vibrant dances, provide a glimpse into Zambia’s rich heritage and cultural diversity. Visitors can immerse themselves in these celebrations, witnessing the country’s history and traditions come alive.

Unmatched Wildlife Adventures

For wildlife enthusiasts, Zambia is a dream come true. Home to 20 national parks and 36 game management areas, the country offers some of the best wildlife experiences in Africa. Here, you can encounter the "Big Five" – Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, and Buffalo – in their natural habitat. Zambia is also famed for hosting the largest mammal migration in the world. Between October and December, millions of fruit bats converge in Kasanka National Park, creating a spectacle that is both awe-inspiring and unforgettable. Additionally, Zambia boasts the second-largest wildebeest migration in Liuwa National Park and the largest population of hippos globally.

Pioneers of the Walking Safari

Zambia is where the walking safari was born. This unique activity allows visitors to experience the wilderness up close and personal. Imagine a casual walk with lions or an exhilarating hike through pristine landscapes, all under the guidance of experienced rangers ensuring your safety. For those seeking more thrill, Zambia offers bungee jumping, white-water rafting, and elephant-back safaris, among other adrenaline-pumping activities.

The Majestic Victoria Falls

No visit to Zambia would be complete without witnessing the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or "The Smoke That Thunders." This natural wonder, named by David Livingstone in 1855, is one of the world’s most spectacular waterfalls. During the high-water season, the sheer power and beauty of the falls create a mist that can be seen from miles away. For the adventurous, Livingstone Island offers a chance to swim in the Devil’s Pool, a natural infinity pool right at the edge of the falls, between September and November.

Luxurious Yet Diverse Accommodation

Zambia caters to every traveler’s needs with a wide range of accommodation options. From luxurious five-star hotels and lodges to budget-friendly backpacker hostels, there’s a place for everyone. The country also boasts state-of-the-art conference facilities, making it an ideal destination for international events and business gatherings. Zambia has successfully hosted significant events like the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, COMESA heads of state meetings, and African Union summits.

Adventure Awaits in Livingstone

Livingstone, the tourist capital of Zambia, is a hub for thrill-seekers. This vibrant town offers activities that cater to every adventurer’s desire. Bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge, ride the rapids on a white-water rafting expedition, or take a serene sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi River. The vintage steam train rides provide a unique blend of adventure and luxury, offering five-star service and a delicious five-course dinner as you travel through the picturesque landscapes.
