Zambia
The call of the wild
Zambia offers endless opportunities to immerse oneself in an untouched naturally-wild environment, featuring an estimated 20 national parks, the country is considered to have one the best game viewing areas (walking safaris) in all of Africa. Those looking for an experience beyond the wilderness excursions will find evidence of ancient cultures among the rock “arts” and cave paintings. Further, one can experience extreme sports such as whitewater rafting on the Zambezi river or canoeing while surrounded by hippos and crocodiles. Also, make sure to attend festivals and ceremonies which play a special role in the lives of the Zambian people; there are ~77 calendrical ceremonies recognized by the government and many more undisclosed rituals unique to certain tribes. While travelling though Zambia participating in one of these ceremonies is not to be missed!
