Zambia Acknowledged as one of the safest countries in the world to visit, Zambia's welcoming people live in peace and harmony. Blessed with an abundance of wildlife, huge lakes and rivers and vast open spaces, you will find some of the finest Safari experiences on the planet, including face-to-face encounters with nature in its wildest state. One of nature's greatest treasures and Seven Wonders of the World , the Victoria Falls is situated on the mighty Zambezi river and border with Zimbabwe. Here you will marvel at the magnificent Falls as masses of water thunder down a 108 meter gorge, making it one of the world’s largest waterfalls. Close to Victoria Falls lies the little town of Livingstone, the adventure capital of Southern Africa. The town offers a variety of adrenalin sports, such as white water rafting, bungee jumping off the railway bridge , canoeing safaris, inter-active cultural programs and helicopter flights over the Falls. Zambia has the largest water resources in the whole of southern Africa with five massive lakes, including Lake Kariba. Plentiful rivers offer excellent tiger and fly fishing, canoeing safaris, house boating holidays, first class white water rafting, kayaking and river surfing. Spectacular daily sunsets are almost guaranteed. Zambia has a well-established reputation as one of Africa’s top safari destinations, with lush and sparsely-populated rural landscapes and many different parks and safari activities to enjoy. Kafue National Park is one of the largest national parks in the whole of Africa, a mere two hour drive north of Livingstone, or two hours west of Lusaka, Zambia’s capital. Thanks to its size and variety of habitat types the Kafue holds a fantastic diversity of wildlife. In the north east of Zambia, is South Luangwa National Park, famous for its ‘walking safari’ which is still one of the finest ways to experience Africa’s pristine wilderness first-hand. It is therefore easy to see why Zambia is a top destination for the discerning traveller looking for the best experiences in Southern Africa. www.atctravel.co.za 200
