Visit one or more wildparks, see the animals, the trees and the flowers.
And visit Vic Falls, they are unforgettable.
Everything was a new experience, I liked the animals and the trees. But also the smell of a small wood fire, the laugh of a stranger, the sunset. And always a dove cooing somewhere far away.

Photo of the Land Rover that we took into the park for our stay, beside the local village where we picked up our Ranger guide. I was amazed that it could take the 10 of us and all of our equipment. We did manage to get it bogged down in a marshy area of the park but, with the help of a few branches and a lot of pushing managed to get it mobile again. Leave a Comment

Visit the game parks - especially the Luangwa Valley. Unfortunately, I did not have the means to visit this fantastic park at the time that I was in Zambia, but I did manage a few others. One was the off-the-track Lusenga Plains park in the north near Lake Mweru. This was not open to the general public but, because of our 'volunteer' contacts, we were able to get an escorted tour in the park. Photo of our party on foot with an armed Ranger with signs of recent burning of the grass as was customary by the local tribes people. Walking around here made me feel for the first time what an antelope must feel like - you are just another meal to a lion! Since then I have also been to Ngorongoro (Tanzania), Amboseli (Kenya) and Kruger (South Africa) and this was the only time that anyone was ever allowed out of their tour vehicle. Once you are on foot, all the rules change as far as the predators are concerned! Leave a Comment

Go down a copper mine. Visit a game park - ideally Luangwa on a walking safari. See the Victoria Falls.

You should have a minimum of 6 months left on your passport on he day you leave Zambia.
British passport holders do need a visa, this is stamped into your passport on arrival. Leave a Comment

The children were the highlight of my trip! We rented bikes and traveled to some of the neighboring villages outside of Livingstone. Here's one of our warm welcomes... Leave a Comment

Everybody has to go to the toilet sometimes. What you shouldn't forget is closing the door. Leave a Comment

There was quite some wildlife along the way to be seen. I celebrated my birthday somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The present was me enjoying the priviledge of being first to have a hot shower. Leave a Comment

The children laugh and wave at you, but they are very shy. Bring something with you for them, they like ballpoints and toys!

White water rafting was a special treat. Here we are being terminated by THE TERMINATOR II...one of the class V rapids along the Zambezi...(I'm wearing the blue helmet and my sister is clinging onto the boat).
We floated along the outside of the boat for most of that rapid.... Leave a Comment
