One of the less well-known safari countries, Zambia has a superb collection of vast national parks, with everything from traditional game drives, boating on the mighty Zambezi River, game-viewing by canoe and the very best walking safaris - Zambia is arguably where the walking safari was born and most say it's still the best place to experience the African wilderness on foot. Many couples choose to begin their Zambia honeymoon with a relaxing stay at the Victoria Falls, which provides a chance to unwind before heading off on safari. The Lower Zambezi and the South Luangwa are two of the best known national parks, both game rich, with a good choice of authentic safari lodges and more rustic bush camps.
A Zambia honeymoon can easily be extended to include time on the beach. For those wanting the facilities of a luxury resort, a 4- and 5-star beach hotel in Mauritius is an ideal choice. The remote beaches of Mozambique appeal to those who want a more relaxed, 'feet in the sand' style of luxury, or land-locked Malawi where you can stay beside the clear blue waters of Lake Malawi. Zamiba is a warm and freindly country, and a Zambia honeymoon is a good choice for more adventurous couples or those who have been on safari before.
