Top Tourist Attractions


Victoria Falls

Known as “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, The Smoke That Thunders, the Victoria Falls region is Zambia’s premier tourist attraction. The sheer spectacle of the Victoria Falls in flood defies belief as it is the widest single curtain of falling water in the world (about a mile or 1.7 kilometres wide).

At about 420 feet (128 metres) deep, with unique geological foundations, Victoria Falls has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

North Luangwa National Park
An extension of the Great African Rift Valley, the Luangwa Valley lies in the central-eastern region of Zambia. Dominated by the undulating Luangwa River, the valley consists of four National Parks. North Luangwa on the western bank of the river is by far the wildest and most beautiful. The vegetation ranges from Mopane woodland to forest, open grasslands and acacia thicket, the beautiful sausage trees, vegetable ivory palms, red mahogany and Leadwood thickets.

The North Luangwa National Park is home to numerous species of African animals, including the Big-Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino).
 

Lusaka

Zambia is a fast developing country, and its bright future is epitomised by the development of Lusaka. With a rich heritage of colonial influence, years of social independence with political hurdles, and now an exciting new democracy, Lusaka lives them all.
 

New shopping malls under construction, fast food outlets, new roads and refurbished old buildings indicate a land on the move, while vast open air markets with colourful stalls provide an African touch. Fishmongers, hairdressers, second-hand clothing dealers (known as saluala) and fruit-sellers market their products to local buyers. The nightlife is vibrant with many roadside pubs and bar-lounges playing kwela, techno or hip-hop sounds.
