Zambia Puzzles
Zambia is a landlocked country in southern Africa, crossed by the great Zambezi River. Our Zambia puzzles visit Victoria Falls, which it shares with neighbouring Zimbabwe, the wildlife of South Luangwa National Park and the shores of Lake Kariba.

About Zambia
Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world, about 1.7 kilometres wide. Its local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, means the smoke that thunders, because the spray thrown up by the falling water can be seen from many kilometres away. In the wet season the mist is so thick that visitors on the path opposite are soaked in seconds, and rainbows often shine through it.
In the Luangwa Valley in the east, leopards, elephants and a kind of giraffe found nowhere else live along a winding river, and it was here that the walking safari began. In the south, Lake Kariba, made by a dam on the Zambezi in 1959, is the largest man-made lake in the world by volume.
