Places of Interest in Zambia

With an immense, awe-inspiring waterfall and world-renowned parks and reserves, many would agree that Zambia has some of the greatest natural scenery on the continent. We've selected a few of the top places to visit on a Zambia safari holiday.

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls has to be experienced first hand; no photograph can truly do justice to this thundering natural wonder of the world. What's more, Vic Falls is a hotspot for a host of exciting activities from whitewater rafting to elephant- back safaris.

The town of Livingstone serves as the gateway to the Zambian side of the Falls, as well as the Mosi Oa Tunya National Park and lesser known Livingstone Island.

There is a good selection of Victoria Falls accommodation close to Livingstone, mostly comprising peaceful lodges overlooking the Zambezi River.

Most visitors combine a trip to the Falls with a few day of game viewing. Regular Victoria Falls flights link this magnificent waterfall to Zambia's top parks and reserves.

Zambia's Parks and Reserves

South Luangwa National Park is an immense wildlife reserve, made famous as the birthplace of walking safaris. Stunning scenery and great game viewing based around the Luangwa River, have given the South Luangwa the reputation as Zambia's top park.

Kafue National Park, which lies north of Victoria Falls, is Zambia's largest reserve. This is classic big game country with rivers full of hippos and crocodiles. It is also, like all the parks in Zambia, a birder's paradise.

Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia's newest park, is a beautiful reserve on the banks of the Zambezi River, opposite Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. The Lower Zambezi is known for water-based wildlife viewing, by boat and canoe, as well as tiger fishing.
