Background of the safari trip in Zambia

This safari offers an exciting mix of cultural education and an unforgettable nature experience by visiting the Livingstone region and the Kafue National Park.

Livingstone is the gateway to the world-famous Victoria Falls and offers its guests a mix of adventure, culture, scenery and wildlife. White water rafting, canoe and kayak trips or bungee jumping on or above the mighty Zambezi promise action and adrenaline. Those who want to explore nature in particular can enjoy the rushing spectacle of the Victoria Falls up close or go on safari in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Culture enthusiasts get also their money's worth by visiting Livingstone's museums, markets and historical sites. The opportunities to explore Livingstone and its surrounding region are manifold and have something in store for each visitor.

Kafue National Park is located north of Livingstone. With about 22.400 km² it is the largest national park of Zambia. Far away from civilization, the country's oldest protected area is characterised by untouched, diverse expanses of land, which is home to countless wild animals. Lions, wild dogs, elephants, buffalos, hippos, leopards, cheetahs and various antelopes can be found as well as almost 500 bird species. Numerous arms of the Kafue River crossing the park, wetland biotopes, floodplains (including the Busanga floodplains), miombo forests, vast savannahs and thicket characterise the landscape. On game drives, walking safaris and boat trips this diversity can be explored to a great extent.
A visit to these two fascinating places combines diverse adventure activities with the exploration of Zambia's breathtaking biodiversity and promises an unforgettable safari experience.
