Home of the spectacular Victoria falls, Zambia has many things to offer. With one of the lowest population densities in Africa, much of the land rests in raw wilderness waiting for discovery. From breathtaking lakes and wetlands to the abundant wildlife including the big 5 across the veldt, there is much to see and do in this beautiful, friendly, and culturally diverse country. Zambia is home to over 70 different ethnically diverse groups. Other attractions include over 17 different stunningly beautiful waterfalls, Lake Bangweulu where the grey blue waters can disappear into the horizon, where the water meets the sky.  Memorable safaris expeditions, world class river rafting on the Zambezi including multiple class 5 runs, beautiful African sunrises and deep lush gorges. Along the Zambezi, mighty beasts await you from ill tempered hippos to lurking crocodiles and the fearsome Zambezi shark, the only species that can survive in fresh and salt water as it comes up river from the open sea looking for eats. Come to see it all in this safe and scenic and inspiring country.

A few miles north of here is Hillwood Farm founded by the Fisher family, decendants of a missionary who walked in from the Atlantic side in the 1800's. A functioning farm, orphanage, primary and secondary schools, and a game viewing ranch.. and the Fishers are still there, working side-by-side with the Lunda people.

Stay at Africa House or the Hot Springs just a bit further on.  Great food and you can sit in the hot springs drinking good whiskey and watching the shooting stars!
