Zambia
Introduction to the Zambia expedition |
|
| Zambia is the ‘real’ Africa and, despite its growing popularity, remains a true wilderness. The country’s sheer size, 750,000 sq km (the size of France, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary put together), basic infrastructure and diversity of cultures will prove a challenge for the teams. Its population includes thirty five different ethnic groups all with their own language. However English is widely spoken enabling the team to communicate with local people and experience village life. Zambia’s attraction lies in its remote trekking areas, prestigious National Parks and fulfilling project sites. Vast expanses of flat plains, rolling hills and open bush are broken up by a network of rivers that dominate much of the country. These rivers create extensive flood plains which attract a great variety of wildlife, providing excellent game viewing areas. Lastly there is David Livingstone’s greatest discovery Victoria Falls. Referred to locally as “the smoke that thunders” these falls, straddling the mighty Zambezi River, are a truly remarkable sight. |
