your stay will be more than pleasant, it will be memorable
Zambia came into being as an independent country in 1964, existing previously as a part of the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia. The country takes its name from the Zambezi River, which flows through the southwest region, up to Zambia’s most recognizable landmark, Victoria Falls (on the border with Zimbabwe). Zambia is mostly a high plateau country, broken up sporadically with mountains, hills and rivers. Zambia’s population is very urbanized, with rural areas being sparsely populated and regionally concentrated by the country’s nine major ethnic groups. The blending of these groups in the urban cities led to today’s integrated Zambian culture.Enjoy a few relaxing days on the beach of Lake Malawi or take a safari through Majete National Park. Lake Malawi has such clear water that it is possible to view aquatic life from a boat up above, but snorkeling is also an option. The Malawian people have a reputation for being the friendliest people in Africa, so your stay will be more than pleasant, it will be memorable.

"Our trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana was exceptional. The lodging was comfortable and convenient, tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Tour guides and transfers were punctual. Our Safari camp was a memorable experience with fantastic animal sightings on each game drive. We saw the “big five” and beyond.

I have done two extensive trips organized by Yampu Tours. These trips have covered 11 countries - 7 in Africa and 4 in Asia. Without a doubt Yampu has done an excellent job planning for us to see what we wanted and get among the countries comfortably. They are immediately responsive to every question. The itinerary that is sent is complete with details about each hotel, tent, airline and important highlights about each country. The contracted tour agencies in each country also live up to the standard set by Yampu and if you have even a slight problem and contact Yampu, it is taken care of before you even leave that country. We have traveled to 71 countries and used various travel agents. Hands down, Yampu has been the best.

"The best part of safari was just sitting and observing the animals. Hearing them chew,walk, etc. Loved it. Victoria Falls was superb and we like them best from Zambian side. It has certainly been a wonderful trip!"

"Africa exceeded every expectation that we had. The weather was outstanding, the food was good. The guides (with the exception of Johannesburg) were great. I only wound up taking 687 pictures. I'm now trying to get these into my computer and into a file that I can send to my friends. They all want to see what we experienced. I have mentioned Yampu several times to friends, telling them how pleased we were with your services. We won't hesitate to recommend you and Yampu in the future. Thanks for playing such a great role in making this a most unforgettable vacation."
