What's hot in Zambia

Here are some of the most exciting places to visit in this beautiful country:
Zambia can lay claim to having some of the largest and most spectacular areas of unspoiled wilderness anywhere in the world. If you've ever wanted to see animals such as leopards, lions, elephants, and giraffes living as nature intended, Zambia is a must-see. And it doesn't stop there - with the naked eye alone you can watch herds of wildebeests migrate in Liuwa Park, huge crowds of Antelope in the Kafue Fats and Busanga plainsand all manner of unique, exotic avian life, such as crested cranes, the rare shoebill stork, vultures, egrets, saddle-bill storks, wood ibis, and many more at the Bird Sanctuary in Lochinvar.
Livingstone town, near the Victoria Falls, is the most popular destination for extreme sports enthusiasts in all of Southern Africa, and can offer activities such as white water river-rafting, micro-light and helicopter flights over the Victoria Falls, skiing, river safari, abseiling, elephant-back safari, bungee jumping, river boarding, and much more, all in one spectacular setting.
The Victoria Falls is the world's biggest waterfall, at 111m high and 1701m wide. It is also one of the most beautiful. The huge volume of water plunging down from this sheer cliff face produces a thunderous roar and sends jets of spray into the air that can be seen from a distance of twenty miles. Locally, the falls are known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, which literally means ‘the smoke that thunders'.
The Zambezi River runs 3,540 kilometres from the Kalene Hills to the Indian Ocean, with over two thirds of it going through Zambia. The river encompasses the the peaceful and history-rich Lake Kariba, the Barote Flood Plain, site of the Lozi people's exuberant annual Kuomboka ceremony, and the devastatingly deep Batoka Gorge. If you love nature, you'll go ape for the sights you can see along the lower Zambezi.
It's not just spectacular natural scenery that makes Zambia one of the most photographable countries in the world. Zambia is home to the largest open-cast copper mine in the world, The Nchanga Open Pit.
