Zambia is a vast plateau bordered by Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia. Victoria Falls, at the southern end of the manmade Lake Kariba, is one of the most spectacular sights in Africa (if not the world). The magnificent Luangwa and Kafue National Parks have some of the most prolific animal populations in Africa. Most tourist atttractions are concentrated in nine of the 19 parks (Sumbu, Kafue, Lochinvar, Luangwa, Musi-oa-Tunya, Lower Zambezi, Kasanka and Sioma Ngwezi), with the remainder, as yet, having fewer facilities. Herds of buffalo, elephant and antelope are easily spotted and there are plenty of lions and zebra. Zambia also offers a number of discount hotels for visitors. There are also rhinos, monkeys, baboons, wild pigs, hippopotami and crocodiles. Attractions in the capital, Lusaka, include nightclubs, restaurants, cinemas, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the Munda Wanga Botanical Gardens and Zoo. Lusaka has dancing and floorshows in the main hotels, cinemas and theaters. Local culinary specialties include bream from the Zambezi, Kafue and Luapula rivers.
