‘World on Sale’ Optional Extension to Zambia
This exclusive trip is only offered as an Add-on to the Great Plains Botswana ‘World on Sale’ Offer.
Southern Africa’s Greatest Waterway
Much of Southern Africa’s great beauty is due to its magnificent waterways. The Zambezi River Basin is the most important of all the waterways in the southern continent. The Zambezi, Africa’s 4th largest river, takes a 1600 mile journey from its source in northern Zambia to the coast of Mozambique. The story of the Zambezi is the story of water in Africa. On this journey you visit Victoria Falls, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, and explore the stunning Lower Zambezi region, just across the river from famed World Heritage site of Mana Pools National Park. This unique environment provides a rare and authentic opportunity to learn about local African communities and the challenges they face today from changes in climate & rainfall, to conflict with wildlife. Resident wildlife in the Lower Zambezi National Park is not only abundant but diverse. There is no more beautiful place to learn about water and no one better to learn from than Whole World Water (WWW). A representative of WWW will meet with you during your journey.
What is it?
Spend 6 nights at three of Zambia’s most spectacular riverside lodges: two nights at Tongabezi Lodge in the Victoria Falls area, two nights at Kanyemba Lodge on the Lower Zambezi river, and two nights at Sausage Tree Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park. Percentage savings: 30%!
Why take this trip now?
Every day in rural communities and poor urban centers throughout sub-Saharan Africa, hundreds of millions of people suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe water. The WHOLE WORLD WATER FUND has been established to provide access to clean and safe water for everyone. Have the opportunity to learn more about what Whole World Water is doing to bring irrigation and clean water to the villages in the Lower Zambezi region. See how EXPLORE’s non-profit organization, Direct Impact Africa (DIA) is working closely with local villages to address community needs and sustainability. By choosing this trip, a contribution of $150 will be made to the Whole World Water fund on your behalf, which will help provide safe and clean water for people around the world. Not only will you learn about the water issues that the Lower Zambezi river region is facing, you will help others gain more access to clean, drinking water.
What you’ll experience:
Victoria Falls & Livingstone Island
