There are a variety of African Overland safaris you can choose from that offer you the opportunity to explore the wonderful, adventure-packed Zambia – including both budget and accommodated options.
During a tour through this lush country, you’ll be granted access to the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, known natively as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“the smoke that thunders”.) This world heritage site is a must-see during your travels through Zambia, especially for adrenaline junkies willing to take on the astounding 111 metre bungee jump from the Falls Bridge down to the mighty Zambezi River below. It is in this region that a multitude of adventure activities are offered, as well as other options such as museums, and hand craft markets where you can spend time browsing through local products and tourist souvenirs to take home.
The extended Zambia safari tours encompass some of the finest features of the land, including the spectacular South Luangwa National Park. Known as the best reserve in Zambia, and one of the most magnificent in all of Africa, you are bound to spot one of the many leopards that make this region their home, as well as a vast variety of other wildlife roaming the plains.
Zambia offers plentiful beauty, with lush grasslands that support a wide diversity of herbivores. Simply getting to watch these incredible creatures feast on the greenery in complete tranquillity is reason enough to book a Zambian safari.
