Zambia
The only thing we knew about Zambia is that it was one of the two countries that borders the famous Victoria Falls – one of the largest waterfalls in the world. On our trip to Africa, we knew one of the things we wanted to do was visit the mile-wide Victoria Falls. But, as we discovered, there is a lot more to Zambia than this famous landmark.
In Zambia, we got to see elephants as they came to drink from the mighty Zambezi River. We got up close to hippos as they bobbed effortlessly in the rivers. We had magnificent stargazing in the completely dark skies. And we encountered a beautiful, proud, and thoughtful people. Of all of our experiences, meeting the Zambian people was the most rewarding. Here are some articles on our favorite Zambian experiences.
