Kalimba Reptile Park
A bit of a trek northeast from town, Kalimba Reptile Park (often simply referred to as the Croc Park) is not only a crocodile and snake zoo but a pleasant place to grab a beer and a crocodile sandwich, though you’ll need a 4WD to get here. There’s also a swimming pool, fishing pond
Choma Museum & Crafts Centre
Based in a former school dating from the 1920s east of the centre along the highway, the museums exhibits concentrate on the Tonga people, most of whom were forcibly displaced by the construction of the Kariba Dam. There are displays on the traditional life of Tonga women and men,
Nsalu Cave
The paintings here are thought to be at least 20,000 years old, much older than those at Nachikufu Cave. Instead of the stick figures and animals usually associated with San paintings there are abstract patterns, lines and outlines. As with the paintings at Nachikufu Cave, these pa
Shiwa Ngandu
Deep in the northern Zambian wilderness sits Shiwa Ng’andu, a grand country estate and labour of love of eccentric British aristocrat Sir Stewart Gore-Brown. The estate’s crowning glory is Shiwa Ng’andu manor house, which is a glorious brick mansion. Driving up to the house through
Shiwa House
Shiwa House itself is the main draw here and visitors can take a guided tour . The great house is full of old family heirlooms, photographs and stories, and standing out on the perfectly manicured lawns you could almost forget that you’re in Southern Africa and imagine instead that
South Luangwa National Park
For scenery, variety of animals, accessibility and choice of accommodation, South Luangwa is the best park in Zambia and one of the most majestic in Africa. Amongst the varied terrain of dense woodland, oxbow pools and open grassy plains lurk beasts of all shapes and sizes, from ma
Livingstone
The historic town of Livingstone is Zambias tourist capital and a major hub for travellers. Most visitors come for Victoria Falls, but the town has attractions of its own - a genteel colonial history combined with a very African ambience. Livingstone lies a short distance from the
National Museum
This big square box of a building resembling a Soviet-era Moscow ministry is not much more than a shell of a museum. The decade-long plan to renovate the upstairs galleries to include exhibitions on urban culture and Zambian history seems to be in a permanent state of suspension le
Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls are one of the worlds most spectacular plunges. The 2km(1.2mi)-wide Zambezi River drops more than 100m (328ft) into a steeply-walled gorge. The Zambian side of Victoria Falls has long played second fiddle to its better-known Zimbabwean counterpart, but trouble ne
Moto Moto Museum

Kasanka National Park
One of Zambia’s least-known wilderness areas and a real highlight of a visit to this part of the country is the privately managed Kasanka National Park. At just 390 sq km it’s pretty small compared to most African parks, it doesn’t have a huge range of facilities and it sees very f
Livingstone Island
One of the most thrilling experiences not only at the falls, but in Africa, is the hair-raising journey to Livingstone Island. Here you will bathe in Devils Pool – nature’s ultimate infinity pool, set directly on the edge of the raging drama of Victoria Falls. You can leap into the
Victoria Falls World Heritage National Monument Site
