Zambia Travel Guide

Zambia is a state in Southern Africa. Roughly the size of Texas or France, Zambia is a landlocked country, bordered by Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, a narrow strip of Namibia known as the Caprivi Strip to the southwest, Angola to the west, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the northwest.

Zambia offers travelers some of the world's best safari opportunities, a glimpse into ""real Africa,"" and Victoria Falls, one of the World's Seven Natural Wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Zambia manages to fly under the radar as a safari country. Unfathomable, given the staggeringly wonderful wildlife experiences it offers safari-goers. If there's a word to sum up this large, land-locked, off-the-beaten-track place, it is 'wild'. Nowhere else in southern Africa do you get such an entirely unaffected palette of wild Africa. There's a sense of the bush that has been lost in more highly urbanized countries - here, the cyclical forces of nature still dominate the animal kingdom.
