Zambia, once known as Northern Rhodesia, is a uniquely shaped Southern African destination defined by vast wilderness, abundant waterways and an understated, low-impact approach to wildlife tourism. Fed by three major rivers and bordered by expansive lakes, the country is home to 19 national parks supporting over 750 bird species and an impressive diversity of game. Visitors can experience everything from adrenaline-fuelled adventures on the Zambezi River to tranquil houseboat cruises on Lake Kariba, all set against some of Africa’s most unspoiled landscapes. The iconic Victoria Falls, one of the world’s great natural wonders, provides a spectacular highlight, while Zambia’s renowned walking safaris and expert guides offer an intimate way to explore its rich ecosystems.
