South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, the southernmost of three national parks in the valley of the Luangwa River, is a world-renowned wildlife haven. It supports large populations of Thornicroft's Giraffe, and herds of elephant and buffalo often several hundred strong, while the Luangwa River supports abundant crocodiles and hippopotamuses. It is one of the best-known national parks in Africa for walking safaris. Founded as a game reserve in 1938, it became a national park in 1972 and now covers 9,050 km².

Swimming in the Devil's pool at the Victoria Falls - Devil's Pool, Victoria Falls
Near the edge of the falls, accessed via Livingstone Island, when the river flow is at a safe level, usually during the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls within the pool, known as Devil's Pool, without continuing over the edge and falling into the gorge; this is possible due to a natural rock wall just below the water and at the very edge of the falls that stops their progress despite the current.

Zambia part 11 - Visit Zambia

Visit Zambia - A brief introduction to Zambia
The territory of what is now Zambia was known as Northern Rhodesia from 1911. It was renamed Zambia on the occasion of its independence, in 1964. The new name of Zambia was derived from the Zambezi river (Zambezi may mean "God's river") which flows through the western region of the country and forms its southern border.
