Zambia
Zambia, in southern Africa, is a landlocked country made up of wild lands and diverse wildlife, with many parks and safari areas. At the border with Zimbabwe lie the famous Victoria Falls (called Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "the smoke that roars," by local populations), which plunge from a height of 108 meters into the narrow Batoka Gorge. Downstream, the Victoria Falls Bridge crosses the Zambezi and offers a spectacular viewpoint.<span class="eHaQD">Â </span>
