Discover Zambia: Victoria Falls and South Luangwa Safaris

The Zambian side of one of the world's largest waterfalls offers views from the Knife-Edge Bridge and, in the dry season, swimming in the Devil's Pool at the very edge.

Birthplace of the walking safari, this park holds one of Africa's highest concentrations of leopards alongside elephants and hippos along the Luangwa River.

Canoe safaris drift past elephants and hippos along the wide Zambezi River, facing Zimbabwe's Mana Pools across the water.

White-water rafting through the Batoka Gorge below Victoria Falls ranks among the world's most thrilling and famous commercial rapids.

May–October, the dry season, is best for wildlife viewing, while February–May brings the fullest flow over Victoria Falls.

Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or apply online through the eVisa system in advance.

Mid-range safari lodges are generally more affordable than in neighbouring Botswana, though top-end camps remain premium-priced.

Domestic flights link Livingstone at Victoria Falls with the South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi national parks efficiently.
