Zambia Safaris to the Victoria Falls are a must when visiting this part of the world, known locally as Mosi-oa-tunya or ‘the smoke that thunders’, the Victoria Falls is one of Zambia’s most important tourist attractions. At 66km², the Mosi-oa-tunya National Park is one of the smallest safari areas in the country, and its main purpose is protect the riverine area above the falls, the falls themselves and the common duiker and warthog.

Hippo and crocodile occur in the river. The Falls section of this Zambian Safari area includes the rainforest on the cliff opposite the Eastern Cataract which is sustained by spray from the falls. It contains plants rare for the area such as pod mahogany, ebony, ivory palm, wild date palm and a number of creepers and lianas. The wildlife sanctuary of the Mosi-oa-tunya National Park is home to Zambia's only remaining white rhino, as well as zebra, giraffe and the occasional herd of elephant. Go on a game drive along the Zambezi, and you're sure to see loads of hippo wallowing in the shallows, and crocodiles basking on the river bank.

Kafue National Park is Zambia’s oldest and its largest safari area. It was established in 1924 and offers incredible Zambia Safaris. Kafue is made up of a vast, gently undulating plateau ranging in altitude from 970 to 1 470m above sea level. A few hills are located along the mid-reaches of the Kafue River and much of the area to the west and south is dominated by expanses of Kalahari sand.

The region is watered by the Lufupa and Lunga rivers, tributaries of the Kafue, which forms part of the eastern boundary. The vegetation consists of grassland, with the extensive Busunga Plain in the north, and of miombo, mopane and riverine woodland. Stand of teak grow throughout the park but are most common in the south.

South Luangwa National park lies within the Luangwa Valley, whose floor, for the most part, is gently sloping and well wooded, with isolated, broken ridges and a flat alluvial plain. Two large grassland plains are located in the South Luangwa National Park with smaller grassland areas to the north.

The Luangwa River inundates its flood plain periodically, usually in February, and after a flood sometimes changes its course leaving oxbow lakes along the old channel. This instability creates the richness of scenery and the highly productive ecosystem for which the Luangwa Valley is well known.
