The country has many cultures with many different ethnic groups speaking different languages countrywide. When you arrive in Zambia you are greeted with smiling and friendly people right at your entry point. These are just some of the few things one can experience in Zambia the real Africa. Then there is Kafue and Mosi-o-Tunya National Parks in the south with its elephants, giraffes, and zebras. Not far from this park there is Mfuwe also with its different specifies of antelopes. There is the spectacular South Luangwa National Park with hundreds of kilometers of wildlife. We have some of the best wildlife in our national game parks. Zambia is a home to thousands of species of beautiful and colorful birds. The Zambian experience does not just end with Livingstone. The Mosi-o-Tunya Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. These sports can all be experienced right around the Mosi-o-Tunya Falls in Livingstone. In fact, it is perhaps only in Zambia that you can experience Banji jumping, water rafting, canoeing, sky diving, gliding, game hunting, etc all in one destination. Zambia could take advantage of these visitors by promoting some of our best tourism destinations.

What exactly is wrong with our leaders?Ī fortnight ago I visited the ministry of tourism to find out what they were planning, here in Zambia, as far as the world cup was concerned. Here in Zambia there is little or nothing that is being done by authorities to take advantage of this big event in our front yard. There is now less than 100 days before the FIFA 2010 World Cup kicks off in South Africa.
