A Zambia Wildlife Safari is considered by wildlife experts as one of the best for african wildlife viewing and bird viewing.

If you want to watch wildlife in luxury, and without the crowds, then Zambia is the place to be.

The extraordinary diversity of wildlife and birds found in South and North Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, and Kafue National Parks make Zambia a paradise for wildlife visitors.

Here you can experience an exclusive Zambia wildlife safari using special open-sided 4WD vehicles, or you can take a canoe safari for a completely new and unique experience.

Safaris at Night

Zambia is also one of the few countries in Africa that allows wildlife viewing at night (the other side of the wildlife viewing coin).

Walking Safaris

It is also one of the few countries that also allows walking safaris, the ultimate safari where you not only get close to nature, you become part of nature. Afraid? It's okay.  You are accompanied by an experienced guide and armed guard to keep you from becoming part of the 'food chain'.

The walking safari was in fact pioneered by Norman Carr a conservation legend in Zambia's Luangwa Valley in the 1950s.

Other Unusual Types of Safaris

Other exciting and unusual experiences are the elephant-back and horseback safaris in Victoria Falls National Park.  The big advantage of being on elephant or horse-back is that wildlife will let you get closer than if you were on foot or in a 4WD.

Victoria Falls

No website page about Zambia would be complete without mentioning Victoria Falls, also known locally as "The Smoke that Thunders".

It's one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and has to be seen to be believed!

The falls are located on the Zambezi River, and forms part of the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The Victoria Falls National Park, as the name implies, offers visitors an awesome view of one of the world's most famous natural wonders. Victoria Falls should be a 'must see' on your Zambian vacation!
