Zambia lies landlocked in southern Africa and is slightly smaller than the UK and France combined. In spite of its size, Zambia has a population of only 10.5 million, of which 47 % are under 15 years of age. Although the country has phenomenal sights, like the spectacular Victoria Falls or the beautiful Lower Zambezi, tourism started later than in many other African countries.

The number of tourists seems to increase steadily since the demise of Zimbabwe’s tourism industry, although it's still comparably low compared to East and South Africa. The safari industry pioneered walking safaris and does its best to learn from the mistakes of its neighbours. So there are many conservation projects, that support local communities. Around Zambia's great rivers you  find attractive national parks, with Kafue and South Luangwa being the most popular.

Travelling through Zambia is safe, but takes time: distances are long and road conditions bad. Apart from Lusaka and the main towns in the Copperbelt, the rural areas have a low population density. The country retains large tracts of wilderness, like Liuwa Plains or the remote North Luangwa. It is deepest, darkest Africa and remains one of the world’s poorest countries with a major national debt, a weak currency, but very pleasant people.
