Zambia delivers cycling at its most dramatic. Beyond Victoria Falls, the Zambezi Valley unfolds as a vast, sun-baked corridor of baobab-studded savanna and riverside trails, with the mighty Zambezi River carving its way through gorges and floodplains below. Routes trade tarmac for red dirt tracks that wind past remote villages, through miombo woodland, and alongside riverbanks where hippos wallow and fish eagles call overhead.
