Zambia - Country Information
Where explorers wander… and in the past they’ve included names of such repute as the intrepid missionary Dr David Livingstone, and for good reason. Zambia shares with Zimbabwe the privilege of providing a site for the Victoria Falls and the adrenalin activities that take place as a result of these thundering waters and the gorge that they have carved out of the basalt rock.
