🌏 Destination Overview
Zambia is a pristine and authentic wilderness in southern Africa. On the Zambian side of Victoria Falls you can walk to the Knife-edge Bridge at the waterfall's edge, and at the end of the dry season when the water is low you can even peer into the dizzying 'Devil's Pool' a hundred meters above the abyss; South Luangwa National Park is the birthplace of the walking safari, where you follow armed guides on foot deep into the savanna to track animals, experiencing the most primal Africa. Add sunset cruises on the Zambezi River with herds of hippos, and Zambia is a favorite of travelers who love authentic safaris and nature expeditions.
