Overview

Why Zambia

Zambia is where the walking safari was born. South Luangwa's leopard density and Lower Zambezi's water-based safaris bookend the country.

On the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, Devil's Pool — a natural infinity pool on the lip of the falls — is one of the world's most exhilarating swims.
