In Zambia you can pair a visit to Victoria Falls with exceptional game viewing in untamed reserves that teem with wildlife. Close to the historic town of Livingstone, the Zambian side of Victoria Falls offers stunning views of the entire waterfall, with Knife-Edge bridge and other viewpoints offering unparalleled perspectives.
Things to do on a Zambia holiday
Activities to consider when visiting Victoria Falls from the Zambian side include enjoying lunch from a spectacular vantage point on Livingstone Island, seeking out white rhinos in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, and sunset boat cruises on the Zambezi River. The brave can also try adventure activities like bungee jumping, zip-lining and white-water rafting.
Zambia offers spectacular game viewing, and its national parks are often less crowded than other African destinations. It was here that walking safaris were pioneered, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the African bush. Most camps also offer 4x4 wildlife drives, including night drives to spot nocturnal species.
South Luangwa National Park is home to one of the highest concentrations of animals in Africa, so you can expect dramatic sightings of the Big Five and a wealth of other species. Zambia is also renowned for the high standards of its guides, so you’ll be in expert hands.
