A Review of a Zambian Safari to the Victoria Falls

March is at the height of the wet season in Zambia. It is also the green travel state season once more - water and green everywhere. This morning is unique and we are equipped to move!

We stay in Chingola at the Zambian Copperbelt. It's about four hundred kilometers north of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. My spouse, Molly and I had determined that I take a few days off from paintings. I work as a geologist for one of the mining organizations. So you guessed proper, rocks and minerals are my business! But so is the Victoria Falls. Did I mention that it was our destination for that day's 'trip'?

Livingstone is home to the awe-inspiring, mystic...Victoria Falls. It is over 500 kilometers south of Lusaka. Now you recognize why we needed to brace ourselves for this 'small ride,' a ride protecting a few 1000 kilometers - a tremendous using test for an afternoon! The look of the morning indicates great weather, but as common afternoon rains had been anticipated. You learn how to predict such with age, you know : - )!

It is 6:00hrs in the morning and we're packed ready to go. The children, there are 4 best men we wouldn't want to be with out, are hovering around. The youngest Martha says, "See the falls for us too and come again domestic properly." They needed to continue to be because they had been going to high school later that morning.

I threw the hold all bag in the boot of our own family automobile. It's a Toyota Chaser, a saloon automobile still good on its wheels. It still drives resultseasily on asphalt roads and that was our kind of avenue all the way; from Chingola to Livingstone. Literally cutting Zambia in 1/2. See the butterfly-shaped map of our magic us of a Zambia.

Kitwe Zambia's Second City

We have been on our way...And stealing from a Chinese announcing "a adventure of thousand miles begins with one step". Just about thirty mins later we arrived in Kitwe. This is the primary town outdoor Chingola. It is the hub of the mining sports in Zambia and the town is centrally placed at the Copperbelt. Its 'wealth' comes from the four surrounding mining cities of Chililabombwe, Chingola, Mufulira and Luanshya.

Kitwe has a small principal commercial enterprise district surrounded through residential areas. There are some tall buildings within the enterprise district. But enterprise is developing and is now encroaching onto the nearby suburbs. Fancy places of work are coming within the suburbs. You know, they pull down houses to update them with office blocks.

Kitwe is a small cosmopolitan town, kind of busy, human beings crisscrossing, buying and some with all types of wares on the market. Hawker traders are everywhere. It's like everyone is selling some thing and every person is shopping for ...Remarkable! The central business district is small, simply a couple of blocks or so and we were on the opposite side of the metropolis middle.

Ndola, the Friendly City

We left the city in the back of as we drove on. Another thirty minutes later we arrived at Ndola, the capital of the Copperbelt Province. Dubbed the friendly metropolis of the Copperbelt. Ndola was constructed as a commercial and distribution center. You can still see the impressions of its former glory whilst times were precise. It has suffered the destiny of the previous regime's economic experiments! The production groups either close down or migrated someplace else. A most moved quickly privatization took its toll here!

The important commercial enterprise district of Ndola is much large and extra spacious. The roads are wide and smooth. The stores are many and you see plenty of people and motors anywhere. Lots of tall buildings too! In the vintage days the beauty become entire. There was a lake on the river that bordered the town center in the south. It separated the town from the southern suburb of Itawa. The International airport of the Copperbelt is beyond Itawa. Planes land right here instantly from Jo'burg (South Africa), Lubumbashi (D R Congo) and East Africa. It became built before the International Airport in Lusaka.
