Be it for relaxation or adventure, Zambia won’t disappoint and here are some of its key destinations that will make your trip even more memorable.
Livingston
This well-known city is the ideal place to be based to witness the breathtaking beauty of the largest sheet of falling water in the world, Victoria Falls! Just a five-minute walk from The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara, this waterfall is not the only allure here; you can go white water rafting and bungee jumping, visit the Livingstone Museum and set off on a magical sunset cruise along the Zambezi River.
Top National Parks
It’s hard to narrow it down to just one great national park so try and visit a few! If you’re staying at a Livingstone hotel, Victoria Falls is not the only attraction here and you can go on a game drive at the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. If you’re looking to see Africa’s famous “Big Five” animal species, head to the South Luangwa National Park, while the Lower Zambezi and Kafue national parks also offer diverse wildlife encounters.
Lusaka
The nation’s capital, Lusaka is a captivating destination to spend time in as well be it for shopping or sightseeing. Amidst the urban development, you can soak up some local culture with visits to the Lusaka City Market and the Sunday Crafts Market, while the Lusaka National Museum and Namwandwe Gallery are also of note. You can additionally plan trips to the Lusaka National Park and the fascinating Kalimba Reptile Park.
Samfya
If it’s some beachside relaxation you are after, head to the town of Samfya nestled beside the shores of Lake Bangweulu in the country’s Luapula Province. Among the best things to do here is to unwind on Samfya Beach where you can also have a picnic, go for a swim or watch traditional fisherfolk. You can also camp out on the beach, embark on a sunset cruise or plan a day excursion to charming Chilubi Island.
