Tailor-made Zambia Tours 2026, 2027 & 2028

The southern border is anchored by Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya), where the Zambezi River drops into a basalt chasm. On the Zambian side, visitors can walk across the Knife Edge Bridge through dense rainforest spray or swim in the natural rock formation of Devil’s Pool directly at the edge of the abyss during low-water months. Downstream, the river calms, transforming into the Lower Zambezi National Park, where elephants swim across deep channels to reach islands facing Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools.

The northeast is dominated by the South Luangwa National Park, a wild valley carved by the meandering Luangwa River. As the river shifts course during the seasonal floods, it leaves behind oxbow lagoons that concentrate immense populations of hippos and crocodiles. The valley floor supports an incredibly high density of leopards and endemic species, including Thornicroft’s giraffes and Crawshay’s zebras, which are tracked during daily walking expeditions.
