It you want to experience the thrill of staying in the heart of the African bush then the burgeoning tourist industry in Zambia offers you the chance for villa rental in the thick of the savannah. Over the past ten years Zambia has been developing its role as a tourist destination and now has a number of idyllic locations to entice the world traveller who seeks adventure.
One such location is the remote villa rental of Shiwa Ngandu – this must be one of the most off the beaten track English Country homes in the world. It was built by a British Diplomat, Stewart Gore-Brown who, after serving his king and country returned to his beloved Zambia to construct the wonderfully eccentric Villa in the bush.
The estate still operates as a working farm and offers visitors the opportunity to travel the Zambian countryside discovering its hidden treasures. Excursions from the villa can take in elephant trails, waterholes and observe the wonders of the herds or wildebeest as they cross the plains.
Along with the real African bush trek you can also pay a visit to Zambia’s modern capital city, Lusaka and take a cruise on Lake Tanganyika on the MV Liemba, a German warship from the country’s colonial era. The highlight of any Zambian trip has to be a visit to the breathtaking Victoria Falls. This wonder of the natural world is not to be missed, standing in the tropical rain forest drenched by the spray from the cascading waters of the Zambezi River.
