Best Things to Do in Zambia
Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences
Landmarks
Zambia
Zambia not only shares magnificent Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River with its neighbor, Zimbabwe, but is developing into one of the prime spots in Africa to view wildlife. Several game parks are top class, as are its guides, who are all highly trained -- including leading walking safaris. Best of all, it’s still largely undiscovered.
Top Zambia Experiences
- Gazing in awe at Victoria Falls, the largest sheet of falling water on the planet and locally dubbed “the smoke that thunders” for its towering mists and roaring cascades.
- Canoeing gently along the Zambezi, above the falls, and encountering elephants bathing in the river -- as well as Nile crocodiles.
- Spotting the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, buffalo) in little Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, near Victoria Falls.
- Taking an expertly guided safari in South Luangwa National Park, getting up close and personal; with lions, elephants, and leopards in the bush.
- Coming face to face with a herd of Cape buffalo while on a bushwalk, trusting your guide to get you safely past, then celebrating your bravery later at your lodge.
- Getting away from it all in the remote wilderness of Kafue National Park, one of Africa’s largest -- and most uncrowded -- game parks.

Amazing group leader - Bibi was patient, generous with his experience, knowledge and enthusiasm. I cannot recommend him more! I only wish the tents weren’t so leaky!

The amazing close encounters with the wildlife on a daily basis. Every day our expectations were surpassed. We saw 9 leopards, 2 cheetahs and so many lions and elephants over our week wild camping.

Highlights have to be the sheer abundance of wildlife viewed on the tour. Birds, crocs, hippos and elephants in Okavango Delta, then lions, giraffes, leopards, antelope, jackal, buffalo, wildebeest and many more hippos & elephants in Chobe and Moremi.
Travelling in large 4x4 isn't the most comfy, but just about bearable on the long days. Lots of mileage to see everything, but that's fairly unavoidable
Camping was better than expected, in that the en-suite facilities were available for the entire 7 days. Yeah, it's basic, but the camp guys are excellent, work hard and provide decent food over a campfire.
Maun hotel is poor, but Victoria Falls lodge one is very good. Don't eat in the hotels though. Make sure you get out to explore a bit more. There are plenty of tourist friendly restaurants and bars
Our tour guide KK was excellent. He had great knowledge, was friendly and led in a way that wasn't overly formal, so it felt he was another member of the group
