With swathes of unspoilt wilderness and an abundance of wildlife as well as one-third of its land protected and low visitor numbers, Zambia offers an authentic safari experience. It’s also home of the beautiful Victoria Falls, located on the Zambia/Zimbabwe border. Head to South Luangwa National Park to spot leopard, Lower Zambezi National Park for a magical canoe safari, Kafue National Park or Liuwa Plains for an off-the-beaten-track safari.
