About Zambia


Zambia – a natural diamond in the shape of a great butterfly, landlocked in south-central Africa. Here you will find everything in one friendly country: the world’s highest waterfall, breathtaking wetlands and scenery, abundant wildlife and a host of beautiful birds. Gigantic waterfalls of ever-changing colour are fed by rushing rivers, and this country offers several unspoilt national parks. Zambia is also acknowledged as one of the safest countries in the world to visit and its fascinating mosaic culture is well worth getting to know.
