Mosi-oa-Tunya, The Smoke That Thunders

Africa at its most untamed. Zambia is home to Victoria Falls (known to the people of the Zambezi as Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'The Smoke That Thunders') and to South Luangwa, the birthplace of the walking safari. It rewards travelers who want raw wilderness and world-class guiding, far from the crowds.
