About Zambia

Zambia, in southern Africa, is a landlocked country of rugged terrain and diverse wildlife, with
many parks and safari areas. On its border with Zimbabwe is famed Victoria Falls –
indigenously called Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "Smoke That Thunders” – plunging a misty 108m into
narrow Batoka Gorge. Spanning the Zambezi River just below the falls is Victoria Falls Bridge, a
spectacular viewpoint. ― Google
