Recommended Tourist Activities In Zambia

If you think the safari is all about riding into the wilds in an open 4WD and camping under the starlight, think again! Zambia offers excellent and varied safaris starting from the rare walking tour, to a night drive, a canoeing safari, a bird-watching safari and a photographic one. Most people prefer the open-top 4WD comfort, but nothing can beat a total experience of the wilds in Zambia when you follow an experienced ranger on a ‘walking safari’, leaving behind all luxury except your binoculars. Your guide will ensure that your ears and eyes get attuned to the slightest movement and the many signs of the wild. The sheer thrill of watching the big mammals from up close is something one never forgets. The ‘bird-watching safari’ has its own attractions with over 750-feathered friends recorded in Zambia! All the major national parks are excellent for this experience.

The Zambezi River and the Victoria Falls offers countless opportunities for adventure sports such as canoeing, white-water rafting, abseiling, rock climbing, hiking and bungee jumping. River trips of another kind on bigger boats with bars are also popular in the evening and is locally known as the ‘booze cruise’.
