When you think of a safari destination, most people will instantly think of Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa. What you may be surprised to discover is that more and more people are not choosing to go on safari to the big three, instead many adventure travellers are choosing to go on a Zambia safari instead.
One of Zambia's main appeals over its rivals is its diversity of wildlife safaris that Zambia offers its tourists. In Zambia you can choose between a walking safari, a birding safari, a canoeing safari, a horseback safari, a mobile safari, luxury balloon safari and an open vehicle safari.
Zambia is a landlocked country and forms the backbone of Africa. The country has its own unique scenery including one of the seven natural wonders of the world €" The Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. Zambia is a sparsely populated country and is largely untouched by todays modern society, with most of the safari parks being unfenced and untamed by man, it is easy to see why Zambia is often referred to as €the real Africa'.
Kafue National Park is the largest safari park in Zambia and is known for having the continents richest birdlife, whilst also providing excellent game viewing, bird watching and fishing opportunities. Most people who go on safari will opt to go on a big five safari, which is another reason why Zambia is becoming so popular is because of its high population of leopards, almost guaranteeing a sighting or two on your Zambia safari. The Kafue River and its rivers are a magnet of wildlife for every possible kind, with an eclectic mix of hippos, crocodiles, flamingo and birdlife can be seen all along the waterways.
One of the best times to visit is during the dry season, which runs from June through to October. The dry season makes it easier to spot wildlife on the game drives as the grass lands are less dense, making it much easier to spot all forms of wildlife and game. In the wet season it can make getting around rather difficult, unlike South Africa and Kenya, Zambia does not quite have the infrastructure to cope with the severe rainfall, which means some roads in the safari parks can get washed away in the sever rainfall.
A trip to Zambia would not be complete without a trip to Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of awe inspiring beauty. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as 546 million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge. During the dry season it is possible to lay on the edge of the waterfall and take in the awe inspiring views from the foot of the waterfalls.
Whether it is a family holiday, a romantic honeymoon or a luxury getaway to escape the daily grime, a Zambia safari has something to suit everyone. Zambia is Africa, pure and simple and is the perfect destination for those wanting to explore their sense of adventure and exploration.
