Known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” or “The Smoke that Thunders,” Victoria Falls is one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Visitors can experience its beauty from multiple viewpoints, go bungee jumping, take a helicopter flight, or dip in the famous Devil’s Pool right at the edge of the falls.
Just one way in… A remote and unspoiled desert, aggressive landscapes and wildlife adventure make north and south Luangwa special, with only one path to the north, Luangwa is explored on foot. Conservation to preserve the black rhino is currently carried out with grassy plains, Mopani forests and sausage trees (Sausage trees). The Mwaleshi River is nourished in the main part of the Luangwa River flowing down into its Hermano Park, South Luangwa.
The mighty Zambezi River offers world-class white-water rafting, especially near Victoria Falls, where adrenaline seekers can tackle some of the most challenging rapids. Canoeing trips along the river are also popular for a more relaxed wildlife-viewing experience.
The variety of habitats and seasonal wetlands at the time of December to June is generally inaccessible and for camps that are still open they will need equipment for wet weather. The plains of Busanga in the dry season lions and Ruan antelopes are abundant. Kafue plays an important role in protecting endangered wild dog populations that are constantly under threat. Between June and October you can see the lions climbed in some fig tree.
Situated along the Zambezi River, this park offers exceptional opportunities for boat safaris, fishing, and canoeing. The landscape is stunning, with the river providing a dramatic backdrop to wildlife encounters, including elephants, buffalo, and big cats.
A lesser-known but remarkable phenomenon, the annual bat migration in Kasanka sees millions of fruit bats fill the sky between October and December, creating a spectacle that is considered one of the world’s greatest wildlife migrations.

Weather
Zambia is an interesting destination to visit in the green and dry season, as both seasons offer totally different experiences. If you are a lover of birds and photography the best season is definitely the green. Seasons in Zambia are generally distributed in three predominantly green, dry and transitional seasons.
Seasons to travel
The green season begins and is the best time for birds. The Luangwa River is in full flow making only a few areas accessible by boat. The walk is spectacular you can see the mandrills bothering the elephants with the fruits while they are under the trees. The migratory birds arrive and the Zambezi River is flooded bringing a spectacular dew of fog over Victoria Falls.
The green season begins to fade and water levels in the rivers begin to decline. The camps close and begin opening in June when the days are clear. Between August and September temperatures rise and wildlife is concentrated in permanent water wells.
Rains decrease bringing cold, clear days, morning fog spreads over the Rift Valley and the central highlands. The migration begins its journey from the Serengeti across the Mara River to Kenya, forming long rows of herds that go deeper into the Mara.
