Travel Zambia

Travel to Zambia is a fantastic choice for gap year travel. Zambia is generally regarded as being one of the safest countries in Africa and its people enjoy an extremely friendly reputation. If you’re travelling in Zambia there’s also plenty of opportunity to get close to some of Africa’s best wildlife (with the South Luangwa and Kafue game reserves being particularly recommended). However one of the main reasons many people travel to Zambia is because it provides an excellent alternative base to Zimbabwe for the Zambezi River and the spectacular Victoria Falls.

Travel and Volunteer Zambia
A particularly rewarding gap year Zambia travel option is to do some voluntary work while you’re there. If you travel to Zambia with Real Gap you can choose from two superb volunteer projects where you have the opportunity to help Africa. These projects are dedicated to providing care and support to victims of Africa’s AIDS epidemic.
