WHY ZAMBIA?
With 19 national parks, Zambia is still one of Africa’s least explored countries; the poor public transport network has ensured that these jewels of un-spoilt wilderness are unique and personal experiences, off the normal beaten tourist track. There are also numerous waterfalls aside from the infamous Victoria Falls, many of which are virtually untouched. Zambia is in a geographically unique position with borders to 8 countries including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique so hiring a vehicle gives you access to so much more.
