Bet you didn't think of these!

Known for its diversity, Madagascar invites you to explore its and sandstone canyons,limestone karsts,forests,paddy fields,and an extensive 5,000 KM COASTLINE.

KUOMBOKA Attend the annual festival Kuomboka hosted towards the end of the rainy season and you’ll find out a lot about local traditions and customs. During monsoons when the plains of the lower Zambezi valley get flooded, the Lozis make a ceremonial move to higher grounds and this event is celebrated with singing and dancing. It is an ancient tradition to move with such a fiesta—the festival is more than 300 years old.

ZAMBIA

This landlocked country in the African continent offers diverse natural attractions to its visitors since 30 per cent of the country is entirely reserved for wildlife.

SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK This park ranks high on the list of Zambia’s sanctuaries. It is home to 60 species of animals and more than 400 species of birds, and trees such as mopane, winterthorn, and marula. For an unforgettable experience, embark on a walking safari and spot waterbuck giraffe, impalas, pukus, elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, and a variety of birds in the lush greenery and dusty sandbanks.

VICTORIA FALLS River Zambezi is Africa’s fourth largest river system. Three major rivers that flow through Zambia make it one of the most water rich countries in Africa. Many cascading waterfalls slice through its undulating landscape, but the Victoria Falls, known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world, is the most famous one. More than five hundred million cubic metres of water plummets into a gorge every minute, resulting in columns of spray at these falls. The beauty of this natural phenomenon is inexplicable.
