The phrase, “Zambia the Real Africa” best describes Zambia because of the country’s breathtaking sceneries, magnificent displays of wildlife in particular many game reserves, rich cultural heritage, moderate climate with high altitude among others. The warmth and good hospitality of the local people makes Zambia one of the favourite destinations for tourists from all over the world. The proximity to other eight countries and being located at the center of Southern Africa makes Zambia an ideal place to begin exploring other countries in the region.

Topping the list of attractions in Zambia is the Victoria Falls, which is located in Livingstone, Zambia. The name Victoria Falls was given by the famous missionary and explorer, Dr. David Livinsgtone. The Victoria Falls is locally known as “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” which means “The smoke that thunders.” Victoria Falls is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. Of the 1.7km Victoria Falls stretch, 1.2 km is in Zambia, while the rest (0.5 km) is located in Zimbabwe. It was registered as World Heritage in 1989.

The Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River do not only offer magnificent views but also a great place to experience and enjoy microlight flights over the Falls, white water rafting, canoeing, fishing and exhilarating bungi jump off the Victoria Falls bridge, down the Zambezi River. Because of proximity and easy access, tourists visiting Victoria Falls can also visit the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, historical museum and cultural village.

Other places of interest include 19 national parks and 23 game management areas spread in other parts of Zambia where almost all animals on the African Continent can be seen.
