Victoria Falls creates an unbroken sheet of water more than a mile
wide and is twice the height of the Niagara Falls.

Kafue National Park is known for its boat trips and Lower Zambezi for
its spectacular fishing. Both will offer you an extraordinary opportunity
to experience diverse African wildlife first hand.

5. 3 LILAYI LODGE & LIVINGSTONE ISLAND#
Taking a weekend away from business at the modern and scenic Lilayi
Lodge will give you a chance to rest and recharge, while still having the
opportunity to take a game drive and see some of the extraordinary
animal life in Zambia. Another fantastic weekend escape is Livingstone
Island, with swimming in the famous Devil’s Pool and some of Zambia’s
most dramatic landscapes to enjoy.
