Our Take
If you love exploring the wildest corners of Africa, then a Zambia safari is for you. The great Kafue and Luangwa rivers breathe life into the central parts of the country. At the same time, the lazy Zambezi River flows along the southern border with Zimbabwe and plunges into the Victoria Falls near the town of Livingstone.
Zambia is famous for its incredible walking safaris, particularly in the South and North Luangwa national parks, where you can truly disappear into the wilderness, connect with nature and disconnect from the world of e-mail, at least for a little while.

Home to the Luangwa Valley, urguably the best destination in Africa for walking safaris.
