Travel Information
Situated in southern Africa, Zambia is a landlocked nation characterized by its challenging landscapes and rich biodiversity, featuring numerous parks and safari regions. Along its border with Zimbabwe lies the renowned Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, translating to "Smoke That Thunders." The falls cascade a misty 108 meters into the narrow Batoka Gorge. The impressive Victoria Falls Bridge spans the Zambezi River just below the falls, providing a breathtaking vantage point. Lusaka, serving as both the capital and largest city of Zambia, stands out as one of the rapidly advancing urban centers in southern Africa.
