Wildlife
Zambia's wildlife-filled plains are legendary, from South Luangwa National Park in the
southeast to Kafue National Park in the west. With their remoteness, species diversity and
fine network of camps, the country's protected areas offer outstanding wildlife watching
for those willing to meet the challenge of getting there and around. While Mozambique
and Malawi aren't typically 'Big Five' destinations, they do offer rewarding wildlife
watching, especially Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park (which is also a prime bird-
ing destination) and Malawi's Liwonde National Park, with its hippos and crocs.
Waterfalls
Thundering Victoria Falls is one of the continent's iconic images, the Seventh Natural
Wonder of the World and a Unesco World Heritage Site. Whether you raft the rapids or
stand on the spray-misted sidelines, the wildness, power and magnificence of the falls are
unforgettable.
Landscapes
From the mist-covered peaks of Malawi's Mt Mulanje to the azure sea surrounding
Mozambique's Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos, and the tracts of bush bordering the
Zambezi River in southern Zambia, the diverse landscapes of these countries will captiv-
ate you at every turn.
