Zambia is a landlocked country in southern Africa, bordering Zimbabwe, and is famed for the mighty Victoria Falls—indigenously called Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The Smoke That Thunders." The falls plunge a misty 108 meters into the narrow Batoka Gorge. Spanning the Zambezi River just below the falls is the Victoria Falls Bridge, a spectacular viewpoint.
Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the world’s largest waterfalls, with a width of 1,708 meters. The area provides habitat for several unique species of plants and animals. Zambia is also home to game reserves that offer pristine sanctuary to a wide variety of wildlife, boasting some of the best game-viewing opportunities in the world.
Among its famous national parks is Kafue National Park, which covers a massive area in western Zambia. Known for its abundant wildlife and the Kafue River running north to south, the park features the fertile Busanga Plains in the north. These plains are home to lions, zebras, abundant birdlife, and the iconic sycamore fig trees of the Busanga Swamps.
Zambia shares borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west. The capital city is Lusaka, and the major airports are Livingstone Airport and Lusaka International Airport.
