This tour will take place in Victoria Falls in Zambia, as well as Chobe National Park in Botswana.
Victoria Falls
The one sight that every visitor to Africa must-see is the famous Victoria Falls, one of the seven great natural wonders of the world. Located on the Zambezi River in Zambia, Victoria Falls is over a mile wide, dwarfing Niagara Falls by comparison. During the flood season, over three million gallons per second pour over the falls to the bottom of the chasm, almost 400 feet below.
The falls can be viewed from Knife Edge Footbridge, which spans on a narrow ridge of rock between an island facing the falls and the mainland. The bridge allows you to get so close to the falls, you should carry a raincoat or umbrella with you. The spray of water allows you to feel this awesome display of nature.
Zambia
Zambia is a big country, as large as France, Switzerland, Austria, and Hungary combined, covering some 750.000 square kilometers and lying in the tropical belt on South Central Africa, 10 to 18 degrees south of the equator.
Being on a high plateau, averaging 1.300 meters above sea level, the climate is very temperate, with little humidity. The country is landlocked, but has many lakes and rivers with beaches and water sports to be enjoyed in uncrowned and uncluttered surroundings.
Indeed, the unspoiled nature of Zambia is perhaps its greatest tourist asset. Rich in scenery and wildlife, Zambia today has become the tourist heart of a great continent which offers something that is becoming progressively rare in this shrinking world, the chance to escape from holiday masses and find an environment that has remained unchanged since the very beginning of time.
