Page 1 of 2 Because Zambian safaris are Africa's best kept secrets! They’ve made Zambia the most enticing destination in African safari today.
Livingstone in Zambia is now acclaimed, and rightly so, the southern Africa Adventure Centre!
The World Tourism Organisation (WTO) has ranked Zambia as Africa's No 1 emerging tourist destination.
The UK 2004 Trends and Spends Survey also awarded Zambia the No 10 ranking in the "best long-haul destinations". At No 10 Zambia is the only other African country in the top ten ranking
Zambia, the Land
Covering a total surface area of 752,614 square kilometers, Zambia is a large country. It is slightly larger than Texas State in the USA or slightly larger than France and Belgium combined. Zambia is generally a high plateau averaging between 1,060 metres (3,500 ft) and 1,363 metres (4,500 ft) above sea level. This makes the country’s weather mild and pleasant.
Zambia’s water surface is 11,890 square kilometers equivalent to 2% of the land surface. The water bodies are mainly from the three natural lakes in northern Zambia. The fourth is in the south, the exciting man-made Lake Kariba. When commissioned in 1957 Lake Kariba was the largest man-made lake in the world. It measures 280 kilometres long and 40 kilometres at it’s widest.
