Once in Zambia you will ride through thinly populated countrysides, along the Great East Road, passing villages of huts that bespeak the humble subsistence farming existence of the local people. After crossing the Luangwa River bridge, the route takes you along the edge of the Lower Zambezi National Park, which is becoming renowned for its natural splendor and wildlife. A day off awaits in Lusaka, Zambia’s bustling capital city, where one can explore a nearby mall and the national University, or just kick back poolside.
From Lusaka to Livingstone the roads are flatter and fast, passing through several larger towns with well stocked shops. The Livingstonia Safari Lodge – located only minutes from Victoria Falls - is a favourite campsite, with its wooden and thatch roof buildings, and lively bar restaurant. At reception you can arrange your Vic Falls outings, from a basic tour with drenching jaw-dropping viewpoints, to the world’s 3rd highest bungee jump off the Zambezi River bridge, helicopter rides, and white water rafting. The people, the adventures, and the natural wonder of Victoria Falls all await you in the "Zone."
