Zambia Holiday Travel Information 04 january 200727 November 2007
Zambia is a vast plateau bordered by Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia. The Zambezi River together with Lake Kariba forms the frontier with Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls, at the southern end of the man-made Lake Kariba, is one of the most spectacular sights in Africa (if not the world). In the east and northeast the country rises to a plateau 1200m (3937ft) high, covered by deciduous savannah, small trees, grassy plains or marshland.
The magnificent Luangwa andKafue National Parks have some of the most prolific animal populations in Africa. Most tourism is concentrated in nine of the 19 parks - Sumbu, Kafue, Lochinvar, Luangwa, Mosi-oa-Tunya, Lower Zambezi, Kasanka and Sioma Ngwezi - the remainder, as yet, having fewer facilities. Herds of buffalo, elephant and antelope are easily spotted and there are plenty of lions and zebra. There are also rhinos, monkeys, baboons, wild pigs, hippopotami and crocodiles.
