Victoria Falls Zambia

The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders) is a waterfall situated in southern Africa between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The falls are, by some measures, the largest waterfall in the world, as well as being among the most unusual in form, and having arguably the most diverse and easily seen wildlife of any major waterfall site.

Hotels and tours are found in abundance here. Why not find out for yourself why Victoria Falls are renowned world wide as one of the true wonders of the world.

Luangwa National Park

Experts have dubbed South Luangwa as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and not without reason.

The concentration of game around the Luangwa river and it’s ox bow lagoons is among the most intense in Africa.

The Park hosts a wide variety of wildlife, birds and vegetation. The now famous ‘walking safari’ originated in this park and is still one of the finest ways to experience this pristine wilderness first hand.

Zambia, The Amazing Victoria Falls and Stunning Safari's.

If you’re staying at one of the Valley’s lodges, the guides will ensure you have every opportunity to see all that the valley has to offer of its wildlife, birds and varying vegetation and habitats. If you’re in your own vehicle, be sure to get a map of the park from the Crocodile Farm at the park entrance and follow the loop roads graded in the park, past dambos bursting with hippos, crowned cranes, grazing antelope and scurrying baboons. Further out on the plains you’re bound to see the large elephant herds, reaching up to 70 in number. Buffalo are abundant and spread throughout the valley.

The hippopotamus is one animal you won’t miss. As you cross over the bridge into the park there are usually between 30 and 70 hippos lounging in the river below and most of the dambos and lagoons will reveal many. There is estimated to be at least 50 hippos per kilometre of the Luangwa River!

Zebra can be seen running in small herds of about a dozen. The difference between Zambia’s zebras and those in the south and east of Africa are in the stripes. Here they are evenly spaced as opposed to broad light stripes with a faint shadow strip in between.
