Zambia Tour
Zambia is one of the continent's largest and most sparsely populated contries, shaped like a huge butterfly. Much of the country is an undulating plateau and the most interesting sights are round the edge - Victoria Falls and Lake Kariba in the south; the Luangwa Valley game reserves in the east; Lake Tanganyika, Kasaba Bay and the Kalambo Falls in the north.
Zambia has always tried to promote tourism, but it has never taken off in a big way. The country's 19 national parks are being improved and you will not find too many tourists between you and the animals. A speciality in Zambia is walking safaris in the Luangwa Valley. Zambia has the opportunity to learn how to develop tourism from other nations' mistakes and, in a country where there are few tourists, there is a responsibility on the visitor to tread lightly.
