Zambia is\u00a0a landlocked country in southern Africa that boasts world heritage sites, incredible wildlife and a vibrant culture. It is also home to\u00a0one of the most impressive water features in the world, the Victoria Falls. Known locally as ‘The Smoke that Thunders’, the poetry suits as the rumbling pillars of spray can be seen from over 50 kilometres away. It is also\u00a0one of the seven Natural Wonders of the world.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
You will then move on to Livingstone for 2 nights on a light aircraft flight and from here you can explore the\u00a0Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls on the planet. A\u00a0trip to Zambia would not be complete without visiting this sublime natural wonder!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are feeling brave you can choose to swim in the devil\u2019s pool, microlight over the Falls, bungee jump off the bridge or white water raft in the Zambezi River which flows into the Falls.<\/div>\n
