Zambia is situated on a high plateau in south-central Africa. The Zambezi river runs from the Equatorial wet region in the north-west and circles through Angola. The Zambezi river is significant not only for agriculture and livelihood of the people of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Angola and Mozambique but for harboring the Victoria Falls, the biggest tourist attraction in the region. At Victoria Falls it plunges 108 metres deep gorge which is 1 000 m wide. Further down it forms the man-made Lake Kariba, the biggest source of hydro electric power in the region.

The rest of the country lies in the Zambezi basin. The two other big rivers, Kafue and Luangwa supports wildlife on either sides of the country. The Kafue river drains the Lukanga Swamp and the Kafue Flats which attracts a huge population of big mammals and many species of birds. The Luangwa river runs through the Luangwa national park well known for it’s high concentration of wildlife including the big cats.

While the copper-belt brings much of the needed forex in Zambia, the abundance of wildlife and the diversity of its ecology makes Zambia mostly preferred destination for safari. The people of Zambia are the most peaceful, helpful and humble.
