For many travelers, Zambia is not much more than those mighty Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River. But far away from those the Africa lover can explore so much more. This country is gifted with outstanding beauty, lots of wildlife, huge wetlands, far-stretching savannas and offers unforgettable experiences for those, who want to see the real face of Africa. A whole network of rivers flows through Zambia, making it a magnet for animals. On an expedition into the bush, where predators and antelopes sneak around unfenced campsites and where every sunset is the perfect beginning for the typical African “night orchestra”. Zambia is also the place, where legends and incredible stories are told around a crackling camp fire or where there are still places, where locals may have never seen a white person before.
Zambia is a big invitation for people, who would like to experience the real, the “raw” Africa. For this, you need time, respect and patience. But the resulting experience is a magical scenery and unforgettable safaris. National Parks like South Luangwa, North Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and many more are rich in wildlife. In their plains one can find all types of antelopes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyena, lion, leopard, rhino and in the waters again crocodiles and hippos. The Bangweulu or Barotse wetlands boast a rich birdlife, including the famous “Shoebill” (Balaeniceps rex). Tracking this elusive bird while walking through the swamplands is a fascinating experience.
One day you can canoe on one of the rivers, the next day white water rafting on the Zambezi or then again, explore old cave paintings made by the Khoisan. Even if Zambia is not yet a top tourist destination doesn´t mean it will bore you.
This land-locked country has the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Angola as its neighbours. Most of the country lies on a plateau, dotted by hills and mountains, which reach an altitude of 2339m. The highest point is in the Mafinga Hills, close to the Malawian border. The sub-tropical climate in combination with its mountains, plains and rivers created a very diverse and rich fauna and flora. Rivers like the Zambezi, Kafue or Luangwa divided the country´s plateau into deep valleys and escarpments with idyllic waterfalls and lakes. In the west, the famous Kalahari touches Zambia, making its scenery even more diverse and stunning.
Experience Zambia like a piece of real Africa.
Travelling in the country:
Zambia is a more demanding destination. If you really want to experience it properly, we recommend a 4×4 vehicle. It will guarantee you independence and comfort on your trip. Most national parks don´t have maintained roads for mass tourism, they are mostly natural and very basic. That can include deep sand, gravel and rocky mountain passes. One has to be very careful when driving, but such a trip definitely brings you adventure and experiencing a raw Africa.
Zambia is a little less convenient for backpackers. You could visit with a little car, but then your options are very limited. You would have to book a safari operator, because most parks will not be accessible in a small car. Also better double-check with your car rental company.
