Zambia, What An Amazing Country!
by: Enestle Zimba
When you travel abroad, especially far away from home you want to
have peace of mind. The same applies if you’re on an African
safari. If your desire is to meet friendly, warm people then travel to
Africa’s peace haven, Zambia. In Zambia you’ll find that which you
most desire, the warm African welcome.
Peace, stability and friendliness describe Zambia. It is a country
incredibly endowed with natural resources, the heritage of a natural
safari country. Just imagine these amazing sites:
1. The Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most spectacular waterfalls,
is considered the world’s largest curtain of falling water. It measures
1701 metres wide and plunges down to 111 metres. The torrent of
water plunging over a steep cliff creates a deafening roar and sends
up billows of spray that can be seen 30km (19 mi) away. Thus the
local people have called it Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “the smoke that
thunders.”
2. The wild untamed Zambezi River. From its source at Kalene Hills
to its mouth at the Indian Ocean the Zambezi measures a whopping
3,540 kilometres. And 2,572km is in Zambia.
Zambezi River passes through changing sceneries. The wild
exciting Barote Flood Plain the site of the colourful Kuomboka
ceremony by the Lozi people, the violent torrent at the Victoria Falls
and the 122m deep Batoka Gorge cut by the river, the serene Lake
Kariba behind the hydroelectric dam. And this lake has a great
history. Finally the wide Lower Zambezi surrounded by wild game.
3. Add to your travel itinerary the Nchanga Open Pit one of the largest
open cast mines in the world but the largest in Africa. Operations
started in 1957 and today it measures 4,700m long, 2,400m wide
and bottoms up at 335m. Zambia’s major economic activity still
remains copper mining.
4. Visit the 19 national parks and 34 game management areas. All
these constitute 30 percent of the 752614sq km of Zambia. The
management areas buffer the game parks and the parks are
strategically located throughout the country.
5. The unbelievable yet fascinating wildlife in pristine wilderness.
The Zambian national parks are considered to have the largest
concentration of game in the world. The variety of animal species is
wide with over 202 mammals that include the Big Five: lion, giraffe,
leopard, rhino and elephant.
Annually there is a wildebeest migration in the Liuwa Park. Take a
look and see the endemic red and black lechwe antelopes in the
Kafue Fats at Lochinvar, as well as the Busanga and Bangweulu
Plains. Birding is popular in all game parks but Lochinvar is Zambia’
s prime birds sanctuary. Meet the crested cranes, saddle-bill storks,
egrets, wood ibis, vultures and the rare shoebill stork.
6. Travel to Livingstone town near the majestic, awe-inspiring
Victoria Falls now accepted as the southern African Adventure
Centre. Here you can choose any adventure of your choice: White
water river-rafting, bungi jumping, river boarding, skiing, fishing,
abseiling, 4x4 off high way driving, elephant back safari, river safari,
micro-light and helicopter flights over the Victoria Falls.
Livingstone is a town of three museums; one is Zambia’s prime
museum, another is a railway museum and then there is the Victoria
Falls field museum. Take a detour and visit a tribal village. Choose
your accommodation from the many theme-designed hotels and
lodges on the banks of the Zambezi.
7. The Zambian weather is mild and pleasant despite the country
being in the tropics. The high altitude at between 1200m and 1500m
above sea level ensures that. There are three distinct seasons; the
cool and dry season between April and August, the dry and warm
between September and November and the warmer and wet
season between December and March. However, the most popular
time to visit is during the cool and dry winter season between April
and August. These are warm crisp days and cool nights!
Zambia is beckoning you! The pristine wilderness, the African
sunsets, the changing landscapes and natural habitat and the warm
Zambian welcome of its friendly people. All these make your travel to
Zambia a pleasant destination in African travel. It’s a safari visit you’ll
treasure forever.
…And you’ll never forget to exclaim” what indeed an amazing country”
