Zambia

Zambia is raw, river-led safari country. South Luangwa is known for leopards and walking safaris, the Lower Zambezi for canoeing past elephants, and Kafue, one of Africa's largest parks, for the wild Busanga Plains. Beyond the parks lie Victoria Falls at Livingstone, the bat migration at Kasanka, a string of waterfalls in the north and the beaches of Lake Tanganyika. Many campsites are run by riverside lodges, distances are long, and some roads close in the rains (roughly November to April).
