Zambia Travel Guide

Birds, beasts and roaring waterfalls – flights to Zambia uncover Africa's wild side. Plan a city break in Zambia's sunny capital Lusaka, where markets have infectious energy and skyscrapers tower above shanty townships. Airline tickets to Zambia whisk travellers to colonial Livingstone, named after the intrepid 19th-century explorer. Roam past tin-roofed Victorian houses to the Livingstone Museum for an insight into the Bantu people and British rule. Travel to central Zambia to watch lionesses stealthily kill their prey in Kafue National Park, or edge east to South Luangwa National Park to spot leopards on a walking safari. Thrillseekers book Zambia flights to go white-water rafting along the Zambezi River or to abseil the sheer Batoka Gorge. The thunderous, mile-wide Victoria Falls form the world's largest torrent, feeding emerald-green rainforest.

A flight to Zambia promises meals of nshima (maize porridge) and late nights at Lusaka's pulsating shebeen bars. Sip sundowners as hippos blow bubbles under a magenta sky at Lake Kariba. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Zambia. Book airline tickets to catch exhilarating events, from tribal beats during musical performances at Lusaka's Agricultural and Commercial Show in August to February's ritual dancing and feasting at the Nc'wala Ceremony, Chipata.
