MAIN Travel Africa Zambia

Although one of Africa's poorest nations, Zambia is rich in spectacular scenery and wildlife.

Bordered by Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, the country may be difficult to traverse alone.

Joining a tour or safari group is recommended, especially if traveling through crime-ridden Lusaka, the capital city. Otherwise, Tanzania is one of the safest countries and inhabited by some of the friendliest people in all of Africa.

Among the countries travel superlatives is, of course, Victoria Falls, the world's largest (along with more than a dozen other spectacular waterfalls), and the legendary walking safari through the Luangwa Valley in one of the few places in Africa where hiking is allowed in national parks.

Other unforgettable experiences await with canoeing safaris down the wild and tempestuous Zambezi River or world-class fishing expeditions on Lake Tanganyika.
