Discover Zambia
Zambia is home to one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders - Victoria Falls! Called "Mosi-oa-Tunya" (Smoke that Thunders) by local Africans, the falls are absolutely breathtaking. The Zambezi River thunders over a 108-meter precipice, creating massive spray visible from miles away and a constant roar that shakes the ground.
Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and standing at its edge ranks among the planet's greatest natural experiences. Adventure seekers can bungee jump, white-water raft, or kayak in the falls' mist.
Beyond the iconic falls, Zambia is a premier safari destination with incredible wildlife viewing. The South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa's best for seeing leopards, lions, elephants, antelopes, and countless birds. The Zambezi River supports abundant animal life and offers boat safaris and peaceful river experiences.
The Zambian people are known for their genuine warmth, friendliness, and stability. Lusaka is a vibrant capital with energy and culture. With Victoria Falls' majesty, prime safari opportunities, the mighty Zambezi River, diverse landscapes, and incredibly warm people, Zambia is an African adventure destination par excellence.
