Top 10 Reasons To Visit Zambia In Africa As Experienced By AfricanMecca

1. World Famous Victoria Falls: Come visit or vacation at one of the greatest world wonders - an erosion of the earth's crust to create the most spectacular view of the water plunging into the gorge and creating the "smoke that thunders" - in local language "Mosi-O-Tunya". Those who have been to Zambia in Africa and visited the Victoria Falls, say it's an experience of a lifetime, a feeling unmatched by any other waterfall.

2. Zambia's Wild & Unspoilt Wilderness Safari Experience: The national parks in Zambia remain off the beaten path, and nature is showcased and at work by the minute and particularly during the night game drives in the parks. The large waterways in Zambia make most of the parks inaccessible from November to March, allowing wildlife, plantlife, birdlife & the whole ecosystem to undergo a complete rejuvenation & rebirth by the time April comes around. The ecology's unique "my time" is most loved and cherished by nature lovers allowing them to see the complete environment in a natural state after total five month absence. It is no wonder that famous adage about Zambia applies naturally: "Zambia - The Real Africa".

3. Magic Of The Luangwa Valley: The Luangwa River attracts wildlife and has played host to families who settled in the area to promote the conservation of this very special part of Africa - Luangwa Valley (Garden Of Eden). The Luangwa family pooling together has enabled the experiences of the wildlife and ecology to be explained to the world. The magic of the Luangwa includes the great many concentrations of leopards in the area, the rutting and calving of the impala, the closing and rebirth of the ecosystem, the ebb and flow of the water level that saturate the land and sustain it along with the history and existence of the families that have been hard at work for 75 years to keep it all together.

4. Africa's Famous Walking Safaris: Zambia is the only country in Africa that can guarantee and claim to pioneer the ability to see wildlife, birdlife & ecology on foot, and deliver on a sensational experience, all with the safety and leadership of Africa's best trained guides. Consider Norman Carr, who is the father of walking safari in Africa, created and set professional standards in walking safari and camp experiences.

5. Zambia's Adventures Activities: Zambia offers an incredible choice of adventure activities - some adrenalin packed and some just pure fun. Whether it's canoeing down the Zambezi River or a microlight on single small engine gliding with specialized wings over the Victoria Falls for that once in a lifetime personalized view or for those wanting to take a plunge off the bridge separating the Victoria Falls. Depending on your comfort level, you can take on adventurous expeditions of choice while staying at one of the Zambia hotels in Livingstone Victoria Falls.

6. Livingstone & Zambia's Historical Experience: Zambia is immersed in a very rich colonial history. Ever heard of the "Rhodes Scholar" program or oxford university's "Rhodes Scholarship" or the terminology "Cape to Cairo" and a railway that spans the gorges between the Victoria Falls. This can be attributed to Cecil Rhodes, who amassed enormous amounts of wealth in Rhodesia. Experience the only western named town in Zambia preserved in honor of Dr. David Livingstone, who strove to eliminate slavery. Dr. David Livingstone was based in Zambia (northern Rhodesia). He died in Zambia and his heart was buried in Zambia, before his body carried by his two faithful Rhodesian servants, Sussi & Chuma, to Zanzibar via Bagamoyo for onward transportation to Westminster Abbey in England. Consider adding on an experience to Shiwa Ng'andu, created as a remote piece of England in the heart of Africa, a reminder to the visiting guests of bygone era.

7. Zambia's Diverse & Complimentary Parks: Zambia has 19 national parks and protected areas with the core wildlife concentration areas being Lower Zambezi, South Luangwa, North Luangwa, Kafue. Each of these parks offer unique and non-duplicating experiences. The Lower Zambezi, which opens to the Zambezi water levels from the Kariba Dam, offers river specialty activities among other land activities. The Luangwa Valley & its Luangwa River lifeline, offers wildlife and birdlife an ecological pilgrimage all along its path. The Kafue National Park opens to the Busanga grasslands allowing the opportunity to traverse the plains spotting wildlife in one of Africa's pristine, remote & untouched area.

8. Superb Ornithological Experience: Zambia's excellent waterways are home to beautiful bird species. Although many clients arrive into Zambia saying "birding is not my thing". After spending a week on safari, one cannot
help but notice the positive attraction that the birds of Zambia create for these guests. Take for example, the unexpected opportunity to see the Martial eagle taking down a guinea fowl in real time, the colorful carmine bee-eaters' nesting season, millions of straw-colored fruit bats migrating into
Kasanka or the opportunity to travel to the Banguwelu Swamps to view the shoebill storks. These are one of kind experiences in Zambia.

9.  Spectacular Scenery: Imagine a spectacular sunset as it vanishes in the distance with views of the trees in between the mountain/hilly humps with water flowing at the foot of the hills and the birds silhouette against the skies with no people except you - that would not be the Thomas Kincaid painting but a true to life experience in Zambia.

10. The People, Zambia's Cultural And Tribal Communities: Zambia has 74 tribal communities, and the common denominator of all these tribes and inter-related cultures, you will notice one powerful fact: that Zambians are of the one most friendliest people you have ever met. The cordiality is very appealing and pleasant, especially when trying to engage and participate in the various ceremonies around the country. Tribal communities are eager to explain and display the cultural diversity that Zambia so proudly offers. Engage in the Lozi Tribe's Kuomboka Ceremony or volunteer at Kawaza Cultural Village in South Luangwa the cultural safari experiences are diverse and infinite.
