Zambia is a country south of Zaire and was known before as Northern Rhodesia. It has a growing industry in the tourism and safari industry and has plenty to offer. Many in fact are now taking Zambia Safaris - Victoria Falls trips and excursions.
The most famous wildlife parks in Zambia are the Kafue National Park, the Luangwa National Park and the Mosi oa Tunya National Park. The Kafue Park can be deemed as one of the largest game parks in the world. The South Luangwa on the other is known for its many diverse wildlife and walking safaris.
The Mosi oa Tunya Park, or the Smoke That Thunders National Park, is named after the famous Victoria Falls, which is located in the town of Livingstone. It was discovered by Dr. David Livingstone and named after Queen Victoria. Some have even purported it to be as one of the wonders of the natural world.
Should one want to get really wet when visiting the waterfalls, the best time would be around May to June where the river is at its greatest volume. The immense volume of water will likely get you wet from a distance and especially if you are viewing it from the Knifes Edge Bridge. It is suggested that you wear plenty of rain gear and you protect your electronic equipment because of the mist.
A drier viewing of the area can be had during the months of October to December. It is this time that the waterfalls are divided into distinct smaller ones and not much mist is generated. Great photos can be had during this time, and plenty of activities can be participated in around the waterfalls area itself.
When going to Victoria Falls, plenty of accommodations can be had in the town of Livingston. Most popular of these hotels is the Hotel Intercontinental which is right on the edge of Zambezi just a few hundred feet from the waterfalls itself. Due to its location, you can also see plenty of river life on the edge as well, particularly crocodiles and aquatic birds.
