AboutZambia
Zambia is a landlocked independent nation in southern Africa. Zambia is unspoiled by mass tourism, and is rich in wildlife, superb forests and meandering rivers. Of course it’s also where you can see the world’s biggest waterfall, the Victoria Falls, which spans the border to our neighbour, Zimbabwe.
