A few rudiments of English are enough to establish privileged relationships with Zambians, who are always delighted to meet tourists. This is even more true for French-speaking travelers, who are rare in the country. The country has a little over 70 ethnic groups spread across the entire territory and cohabiting peacefully. Traditions remain vibrant, and traditional ceremonies are still celebrated, which will delight cultural tourism enthusiasts. The country also has many interesting community tourism initiatives. Everywhere, smiles and cheerful greetings will punctuate your journey. Moreover, Zambians respect foreigners, whom they are always happy to help, discreetly, of course. And although there, as everywhere, usual safety precautions remain in effect, you can trust the inhabitants of this country without fear.
Explore the wild and authentic nature
Zambia is a true treasure for nature and adventure lovers. Imagine yourself in the heart of a wild landscape, where animals roam freely and every moment is an opportunity for wonder. Zambia's national parks, like South Luangwa or Lower Zambezi, offer unforgettable safaris, allowing you to discover majestic lions, herds of elephants, and graceful antelopes in their natural habitat.
This country is also home to the spectacular Victoria Falls, a natural wonder that never fails to impress with its power and beauty. For adventurers, exhilarating activities like rafting on the Zambezi or a helicopter flight over the falls are must-do experiences. In Zambia, authenticity blends with excitement, offering a unique and preserved African experience. Come and explore this corner of the world where every day promises a new unforgettable discovery.
A wild world full of discoveries
The country's landlocked position, its vast wetlands, and the variety of its natural habitats have fostered an impressive diversity of plant and animal life. The large wildlife of the African savannas is particularly well represented with its large predators, pachyderms, and numerous species of ungulates, some of which are endemic. Zambia is home to more than 750 bird species, including the emblematic shoebill, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
The country has many protected areas, sometimes very large, which receive special attention from the Administration and its partners. Although tourism is developed there, its infrastructure is generally integrated, even at Victoria Falls, a prime tourist site, but access to which is not cluttered by souvenir stalls. In fact, Zambia retains a real sense of adventure.
Diving into the Heart of a Natural Paradise
There are names that make you dream. The Zambezi, the fourth largest river in Africa after the Nile, the Congo, and the Niger, is one of them, no doubt thanks to the mythical Victoria Falls, discovered by Livingstone more than 150 years ago. The "thundering" beauty of these falls continues to fascinate travelers. These falls are shared by Zambia and Zimbabwe, but it is in Zambia, near the border with Angola and the Republic of Congo, that the river originates. Before entering Mozambique and flowing into the Indian Ocean, the river forms a border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Below the falls, it winds its way through the Batoka Gorges and then widens at Lake Kariba. Downstream from the dam that forms this lake, it flows between the wonderful parks of Lower Zambezi and Mana Pools. Canoeing down this part of the river will be an unforgettable memory.
Discover a multitude of activities
Safaris offer many opportunities, whether by 4x4 (game drive or night drive), on foot or by canoe. South Luangwa Park is a model of its kind, with the best guides on the continent. Photographic specializations are possible with certain tour operators, while others focus on birdwatching safaris.
In the vicinity of Livingstone, numerous activities cater to thrill-seekers: rafting, bungee jumping, river-boarding, abseiling, as well as helicopter or microlight flights. Other options include horseback or elephant-back rides, fishing, and cruises on the Zambezi. These diverse experiences allow you to discover the region from different perspectives.
