An exciting zambia safari
An exciting Zambia safari can be the best vacation or holiday of your life. Located in the center of Africa, Zambia is a wonderland of forests and deserts, plains and plateaus, and some of the most diverse and exciting wildlife anywhere in the world. Because of that, a Zambia safari can be one of the greatest experiences of your life.
Perhaps the best part about going on a Zambia safari is seeing the magnificent Victoria Falls. They're the largest waterfalls in the world, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The eastern cataract, on the Zambian side, is particularly beautiful, and it's hard not to get swept away (not literally, I hope!) in its immensity, power and magnificence.
From the wikipedia article on Victoria Falls:
Victoria falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer, is believed to have been the first European to view the Victoria Falls. (see pre-colonial history, below), and this is the name in use in Zimbabwe. The older, indigenous name of Mosi-oa-Tunya is the name in official use in Zambia. The World Heritage List recognises both names. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. This claim is based on a width of 1,708 metres (5,600 ft) and height of 108 meters (360 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world. The falls' maximum flow rate compares well with that of other major waterfalls.
Of course there's more to a Zambia safari than just waterfalls. Zambiansafari.com offers a wide variety of tours, for example, including the "David Livingstone Tour," in which you'll retrace part of the famous adventurer's travels. Another tour, perhaps their most beautiful, is throug the NORTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK. A day on this tour is described as follows:
