Zambia travel, tours and holiday packages

A short guide about Zambia

Zambia is a landlocked country in southern Africa, with a tropical climate and consists mostly of high plateau, with some hills and mountains, dissected by river valleys. It is the 39th-largest country in the world (after Chile) and slightly larger than the US state of Texas. Zambia is drained by two major river basins: the Zambezi basin in the south covering about three-quarters of the country; and the Congo basin in the north covering about one-quarter of the country. A very small area in the north-west forms part of the internal drainage basin of Lake Rukwa in Tanzania.

Zambia stretches from the southern shore of Lake Tanganika to the shores of Lake Kariba. It is bordered by Malawi and Mozambique on the east, Zimbabwe to the south, Namibia and Angola to the west and Congo and Tanzania to the north. A large portion of the country is given over to wildlife with 19 national parks and 31 game management areas. The prime wildlife areas are the Luangwa valley and the South Luangwa National Park, Kafue National Park and the Lower Zambezi National Park.

There are many safaris on offer at Tourabout; they range from setting up a basic camp to some of the most permanent Luxurious Camps. While some stay in Zambia itself, other safaris travel back to Zimbabwe or up the river into Botswana to see even more large game. For even more adventures don’t miss the opportunity to "raft the gorge" on the Zambezi below the falls or bungee jump from the bridge crossing between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
