Best Destinations for Honeymoons in Zambia
Lower Zambezi National Park
If you’re after romantic sunsets, throngs of elephants, and some of the world’s last untouched wilderness, you’ll fall in love with Lower Zambezi National Park. Here, just across the river from Zimbabwe, you’ll discover exactly why this place is worthy of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
South Luangwa National Park
With numerous secluded, intimate bush camps that are perfect for honeymooners, South Luangwa National Park is arguably Zambia’s finest example of a game reserve. It teems with life, from big cats and Nile crocodiles to grumpy hippopotami and hundreds of bird species, all within sight of the park’s iconic walking safaris.
Livingstone (Victoria Falls)
No honeymoon in Zambia would be complete without a visit to Victoria Falls, one of Earth’s largest cascades and the crown jewel of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Watch as the “Smoke that Thunders” crashes into the gorges below, transforming into the Lower Zambezi River.
