About Zambia

Zambia is recognized as one of the safest countries in the world to visit.  The welcoming people of Zambia are one of the friendliest you will ever meet and live in peace and harmony.

Here, in the warm heart of Africa, you’ll find some of the best Safari experiences on the planet, including face-to-face encounters with Nature at its wildest and home to the iconic Victoria Falls.

David Livingstone, the British explorer, and missionary who in 1855 became the first European to see the falls, named it in honour of Queen Victoria. The local Kololo tribe called the falls “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” meaning ‘the smoke that thunders,’ after the vast cloud of mist and spray created by the cascading water.

Kafue National Park is of particular interest to wildlife enthusiasts and is home to an abundance of impressive creatures, from leopards and lions to elephants and pangolins.

Apart from its iconic Victoria Falls, the country has a lot of natural water resources compared to other southern African nations. Other attractions include the famed Zambezi River, numerous other national parks, vast species of wildlife and birds, as well as the vibrant culture of the country.
