Livingstone & The Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls (or Mosi-oa-Tunya – the ‘smoke that thunders’) is amongst Africa’s greatest natural assets. Fed by the mighty Zambezi River and bordering both Zambia and Zimbabwe, the falls boast a width of nearly two kilometres and the roaring water crashes one-hundred meters down into the gorge below. For those daring enough, take a dip in nature’s very own infinity pool, Devil’s Pool, set directly on the edge of the Victoria Falls, offering awesome views as you peep over the edge to get a knee-buckling view of the drop below. If you wish to see the falls up close and take spectacular photos (without spray), visit when the flow of the falls is at its lowest (usually October to December). However, if you wish to see the falls in all their glory, you should try to visit when it is flowing at its highest (usually May to June).

Livingstone & The Victoria Falls
South Luangwa National Park

South Luangwa National Park is renowned as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world; the rich volcanic soil, abundant water, light and warmth have created an extraordinarily lush and diverse environment. Unlike many parks, the landscape is very varied - from mature mopane forests, to wide-open plains and sparkling salt pans. What really makes South Luangwa so special is the high concentration of game in the park, alongside the low number of visitors. Guests can enjoy a true sense of isolation coupled with a huge range of game-viewing possibilities, including walking safaris and night drives, which are not permitted in many of the more heavily visited areas.

South Luangwa National Park
The Lower Zambezi National Park

The Lower Zambezi is Zambia's newest park and one of the country’s premier wildlife viewing areas. The best viewing is on the flood plains and along the river itself, perfect locations to spot puku, zebra, impala, buffalo, leopard, lion, cheetah, wild dog and much more - including over 400 bird species! The best time to visit the park is from May to October.

The Lower Zambezi National Park
Kafue National Park

The Kafue National Park is the largest in Zambia and the fifth largest in the world. This huge unfenced wilderness is a safe haven for many of Africa’s ‘most wanted’, including the seriously endangered Black rhino. In the far north of Kafue lies the Busanga Plains – one of Zambia's most significant wetland resources and one of the few areas in the world that remains untouched by development and human activity.

Kafue National Park
Livingstone Museum

The Livingstone Museum is not only the oldest and largest museum in Zambia, it is also the best. Displaying a fantastic array of exhibitions - including archaeology, history, natural history and ethnography - the key highlights include its brilliant collection of David Livingstone memorabilia. Spot signed letters, tribal artefacts, a life-sized model of an African village and much more!
