The Victoria Falls is the world's biggest waterfall, at 111m high and 1701m wide. It is also one of the most beautiful. The huge volume of water plunging down from this sheer cliff face produces a thunderous roar and sends jets of spray into the air that can be seen from a distance of twenty miles. Locally, the falls are known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, which literally means ?the smoke that thunders?.



If you're serious about extreme sports, then you'll probably know all about Livingstone town and the surrounding area already. However, if you don't, then you might be intrigued by the possibility of being able to do activities such as abseiling, micro-light and helicopter flights over the Victoria Falls, river safari, river boarding, white water river-rafting, 4x4 off road driving, skiing, fishing, elephant-back safari, and much more, all in one spectacular setting.

The biggest river in Zambia, the Zambezi, is over two and a half thousand miles long, running from the Kalene Hills out to the Indian Ocean, and is surrounded by some of the most spectacular sights to be seen on this, or indeed any other planet! The river encompasses the wild Victoria Falls, the peaceful and history-rich Lake Kariba, the Barote Flood Plain, site of the Lozi people's exuberant annual Kuomboka ceremony, and the devastatingly deep Batoka Gorge. If you love nature, you'll go ape for the sights you can see along the lower Zambezi.

It's not just spectacular natural scenery that makes Zambia one of the most photographable countries in the world. The Nchanga Open Pit, a massive 4,700km long, 2,400km wide, and 335m deep copper mine, is one of the largest of its type in the world, and can rightly claim to be one of the most spectacular man made edifices in the entire Southern Hemisphere.

Zambia can lay claim to having some of the largest and most spectacular areas of unspoiled wilderness anywhere in the world. Forget all the safari parks and zoos that you've ever been to, because Zambia is the real deal!
