Gap Year Zambia

A gap year in Zambia is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to experience an African country that’s a little more ‘off the beaten track.’ If your main reason for heading to Africa is to explore wildlife, gap year travel in Zambia definitely won’t disappoint. There’s massive potential for wildlife viewing on a Zambia gap year – including Kafue and South Luangwa National Parks, two of Africa’s finest game reserves. A gap year in Zambia also provides an excellent base for exploring the Zambezi River and the mighty Victoria Falls, where all kinds of adrenaline adventure sports are on offer.

Be a volunteer, help Zambia
A particularly rewarding Zambia gap year option is gap year volunteer work whilst you’re on your year out. Real Gap has two extremely worthwhile Zambia gap year projects to choose from – both of which are dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged Zambian children.
