From
the Zambian side, it is actually possible to cross the falls over a dramatic,
narrow footbridge through swirling mists
leading to Knife Edge Point for stunning
views Kafue National Park Kafue National Park Zambia's oldest and largest park
Rich animal diversity Still has an air of unspoilt wilderness Kafue National
Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world and is considered to be
Africa's best reserve for antelope. The park covers an amazing diversity of animals,
birds and vegetation. This is Big Five country and apart from zebra, blue wildebeest,
buffalo, serval, cheetah, lions, leopards and elephants it boasts the greatest
diversity of antelope in Africa including important populations of Defassa waterbuck
and Red lechwe. Birdwatching
is also excellent - Kafue is home to over 400 different species. Angling enthusiasts
will also be delighted by the superb fishing possible at most lodges. Lower Zambezi
Includes Lake Kariba and the lower stretch of the Zambezi River that runs into
Mozambique Lake Kariba is one of the largest man-made dams in the world This
stretch of the Zambezi River is Africa's best canoe safari region From a wildlife
point of view Mana Pools and the Lower Zambezi National Park compare favourably
with the Luangwa and Chobe river frontages Lake Kariba is a huge expanse of water.
As with
Victoria Falls, the Zimbabwean side of the lake is better developed and known
as a prime holidaying area. Other special areas include the unique Bangweulu Swamps
in northern Zambia, an enormous wetland wilderness of low islands, reed beds,
floodplains and shallow lagoons - home to the elusive shoebill stork, along with
the endemic black lechwe. The beautiful Lochinvar National Park offers outstanding
birding opportunities and is home to thousands of the endemic Kafue lechwe. The
small and privately owned Nchila Wildlife Reserve will also enrapture birding
enthusiasts. For tiger fishing enthusiasts, couples who enjoy walking safaris
we can arrange themed weddings in Zambia whilst on a safari wedding or honeymoon!
