Zambia | land van de wandelsafari
Zambia is a must for experienced safari goers; but also for those attracted by the country's ruggedness and concentrations of wild. Zambia is a land of untouched culture and nature, and is as wild today as its neighbouring countries were some 50 years ago. Modern developments have had very little effect on the varied landscape of this country, yet the question of whether this will always be the case remains to be seen, as Zambia is an increasingly popular safari destination.
Walking safaris were invented in Zambia and involve walking from lodge to satellite camp under supervision of a ranger. The combination of walking safaris with conventional safaris in open Land Rovers provides for a well-balanced holiday.
Zambia is an excellent made-to-measure destination: every holiday is different as is every lodge. It can be as rustic or luxurious as you like: from the ultimate safari experience in authentic bush camps, which Zambians have long been good at organising, to exquisite boutique camps, the cuisine of which are catered for by British chefs. The greatest common denominator of all the safaris is that almost all of the lodges are run by characteristic 'bush' people who have lived here for years and attach a lot of importance to providing an absolutely unforgettable safari experience.
Summing up Zambia in a 'Top 3' actually does it an injustice, as the country yields a considerable diversity of nature and wildlife. In that respect, Kasanka National Park can be considered as a reflection of Zambia: this small, trust-managed park contains a wide diversity of habitats which attract an enormous number of different animals. The closer you get to Bangweulu Wetlands, the deeper you penetrate the real Africa. Luangwa Valley contains two large national parks. Now that the wildlife population on North Luangwa National Park has recovered, it measures up well to South Luangwa National Park, Zambia's most famous national park. Lower Zambezi National Park is the newest park in Zambia and its location on the banks of the Zambezi river makes this park particularly spectacular.
Kafue National Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world (it is twice as big as Yellowstone Park in America) and it is regarded as the park of the future. Liuwa Plains National Park is distinguished by Africa's second largest wildebeest and zebra migration. It receives hardly any visitors, however, but we are certain that this will change in the future. You can also visit the small town of Livingstone and carry on to view the overwhelmingly torrentuous waters of Victoria Falls from the Zambian perspective.
