Zambia boasts some of the most unspoilt and wild landscapes in Africa. This remote wilderness provides the opportunity for game rich safaris without the crowds that so many other destinations have. The only bustling area is the country\u2019s most popular attraction, Victoria Falls.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 reasons to add Zambia to your travel radar.<\/p>\n

1. Guided walking safaris in South Luangwa<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Walking

Walking safaris<\/p><\/div>\n

What better way to experience Zambia\u2019s premier wildlife sanctuary than with your senses (sight, smell, taste, sound and touch) by following in the footsteps of Dr. Livingstone exploring the wilderness on a\u00a0walking safari.<\/p>\n

\n

The guides are among the highest qualified in Africa. They\u2019ll show you how to track animals, identify birds from their calls and discover the hidden world of insects as you walk through the bush.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. Canoeing on the Zambezi River<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canoe\u00a0trips can be one of the most rewarding ways of game viewing\u00a0and to see riverside wildlife.<\/p>\n

3. Experience the mighty Victoria Falls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the most spectacular views of the Victoria Falls are from the Zambian side of the gorge.\u00a0The \u2018Smoke that Thunders\u2019 is one of Zambia\u2019s most awe-inspiring experiences and you can either visit the Falls independently, or take a guided walking tour.<\/p>\n

4. Game drives along Luangwa River<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game drives along the river<\/p><\/div>\n

Game drives along Luangwa River, home to large numbers of crocodiles and hippos, and herds of elephants and buffaloes, offer superb sighting opportunities. Birding is also fantastic with over 450 species to be seen.<\/p>\n

5. Experience the thrill of Devil\u2019s Pool<\/strong><\/p>\n

From late September to January the water levels on Livingstone Island are extremely low. This allows brave souls to take a dip on the edge of the Falls amongst the rocks that form a kind of bathing pool, called Devil’s Pool – a natural infinity pool at the top of the Falls. For those that are wanting an adrenalin rush!<\/p>\n
