Before exploring activities in Zambia, readers usually expect articles about the incredible walking safaris in South Luangwa and an appreciation for Victoria Falls’ stunning qualities. The region is famous for its game-rich walking trails and thrilling wildlife encounters but maintains other unique attractions for visitors to discover.
Here are a few of the best things to do when you visit Tanzania:
1. Set Off on Foot While in South Luangwa
The guided walking safari provides a complete wilderness experience that develops your ability to sense wildlife while you grow your knowledge about natural environments. A guided walk through the wilderness will teach you about animal track identification, followed by lessons in edible plant knowledge before interpreting the hoofprints of different animals.
South Luangwa’s walking safari hotspot features luxurious bush camp accommodations with hot showers and quality linen paired with hearty meals and starlit cocktail time.
2. Game Drives Along the Luangwa River
South Luangwa, one of the well-known “national parks in Zambia”, boasts dense wildlife around the Luangwa River. The absence of rhinos allows leopards, along with lions and elephants, and local species to flourish.
Wilderness immersion exists with walking safaris, yet game drives optimize animal spotting opportunities. By refraining from radio contact, guides maintain exclusive wildlife encounters so guests can treasure every breathtaking moment within this secluded reserve.
3. Drift Along the Lower Zambezi River
The Lower Zambezi Reserve showcases big game animals within its shimmering Zambezi River landscape. The opportunities at lodges extend from game drives to nature walks and reach their peak in canoe safaris.
Passing by crocodiles and hippos produces peaceful yet adrenaline-pumping moments. Paddling via canoe allows visitors to see buffalo and elephants drinking at the shoreline without disturbing them.
4. Get up Close to be Personal with Vic Falls
Mosi-oa-Tunya or ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ perfectly describes Victoria Falls. The massive 500 million liters per minute water flow creates mist and rainbows that astonish visitors. From Zimbabwe’s Main Falls area Zambia allows visitors to experience Knife-Edge Bridge.
Three days spent in the location enables tourists to experience helicopter flights along with microlight tours and white-water rafting.
5. Witness the One of the Biggest Mammal Migrations on Earth
From October to December, Kasanka National Park hosts the world’s largest mammal migration—10 million straw-colored fruit bats. The natural spectacle combines a beautiful landscape with soaring raptors that pursue bats during sunrise.
These uncommon sitatunga antelope choose to eat their feed in damp wetlands. Safari enthusiasts should not miss the chance to observe this exceptional natural marvel.
6. Explore the Remote Plains of Kafue in Busanga
