TOURS IN ZAMBIA
Zambia is becoming a popular safari destination with large areas of unspoiled wilderness and abundance of natural attractions. Zambia shares the famous Victoria Falls with Zimbabwe due to its border running through the middle of the Zambezi River.
Zambia is a friendly and peaceful, landlocked country, in central Africa. It has 3 of Africa's largest rivers flowing through its vast plateau and offers the tourist sightings of huge concentrations of wildlife and some of the wildest and most remote game areas on the African continent. Zambia offers some superb game parks with a wealth of birds and wildlife. Zambia is still fairly untainted by commercial tourist development, but nevertheless well-equipped to allow visitors to experience the warmth, excitement and adventures of the real Africa.

Information
Travel to Zambia is possible by air into Lusaka or directly to Livingstone, location of the Victoria Falls. Overland travel is also possible by bus or TAZARA train. Road conditions within the country can be unpredictable, but overland travel is the most common way of getting around within the country. Accommodation in Zambia can range from budget hostels to luxury hotels in tourist and urban areas. The best time to travel for wildlife spotting is between August and October. This is the dry season; the wet season in March-June may provide more greenery and water for animals but will often have the adverse affect of lush vegetation which hides the wildlife. The Zambia International Fishing Competition in early March provides a unique opportunity to watch hundreds of fishermen practice long-perfected methods of fishing on Lake Tanganyika. Other festivals occur throughout the year but are not specifically dated.
Zambia stretches from the southern shore of Lake Tanganika to the shores of Lake Kariba. It is bordered by Malawi and Mozambique on the east, Zimbabwe to the south, Namibia and Angola to the west and Congo and Tanzania to the north. The prime wildlife areas are the Luangwa valley and the South Luangwa National Park, Kafue National Park and the Lower Zambezi National Park. South Luangwa is amongst the most hands-on wildlife experiences that a traveler can currently partake in on the continent. Zambia is more than a stop on the way to somewhere else; it is a destination worth a longer stay. A large portion of the country is given over to wildlife with 19 national parks and 31 game management areas. Zambia is beautiful place to see.
