Frequently described as “real” Africa, Zambia remains off the beaten track with some of the finest scenery in southern Africa; much of this landlocked country is still wilderness.

The better known national parks include North and South Luangwa, the Kafue and the Lower Zambezi. To the south are the Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, two of the continent’s most famous landmarks. The concept of walking safaris originated in Zambia as the optimal way to experience the wilderness.

The Lower Zambezi is also the best place to catch some of the biggest tiger fish in Africa!
