Famed for Victoria Falls and its incredible abundance of game, Zambia is  a less traveled jewel among African countries. Perched above Botswana and Zimbabwe, the country is home to the largest waterfall on Earth and an unparalleled safari experience. The Falls boast endless activities to keep you entertained from relaxing sunset cruises with a cocktail in hand to the thrill of swimming to the waters edge in the ‘Devil’s Pool’. Spend a few nights at the Falls in a waterfront suite along the mighty Zambezi River, a perfect destination for the whole family, a romantic couple’s getaway, or simply a stop-over between countries.
For those seeking safari, there is arguably no better place. Defined by its ‘back to the bush’ style of lodging, with many camps built from thatch each season, Zambia embraces the romantic style of the traditional safari where guests can detach and fully enjoy their surroundings. Home to the walking safari, Zambia offers spectacular game viewing by foot, vehicle, and boat amid  incredible national parks. Take a drive through South Luangwa National Park where lions are plentiful and leopards are literally falling (or rather hanging) out of the trees. Take your camera to a hide and sit camouflaged just feet away from hippos and crocs basking in the sun. Partake in a walking safari with some of the most qualified guides in Africa as you track animals on foot, or for those truly adventurous, spend an evening exposed to the pristine night sky lulled to sleep by the sound of distant nocturnal animals. Venture down to Lower Zambezi National Park where you can try your hand at angling for Tigerfish, hop aboard a canoe safari and gaze at elephants grazing on the tranquil banks and hippos bobbing out of the water inches from your vessel, or pamper yourself with some champagne while you enjoy sunset on a river cruise. Don’t be surprised if elephants join you for breakfast or dinner at camp, for in Zambia, you will truly feel that you are one with the wild.
