Hwange National Park presents an exceptional opportunity to extend your African safari experience beyond Zambia. Situated northwest of Zimbabwe, with its eastern part being the closest Livingstone, this vast conservation area, formerly known as Wankie Game Reserve, spans approximately 14,600 square kilometres, making it Zimbabwe's largest protected wilderness. Nearby, the village of Matetsi also delivers superb safari experiences, complementing the park’s own offerings. The park is home to over 100 mammal species and 400 bird varieties, including rare sightings of gemsbok, brown hyenas, African wild dogs, cheetahs, and leopards, alongside spectacular avian species such as the southern ground hornbill and martial eagle Hwange Safaris offers comprehensive tour packages, wildlife viewing expeditions, and accommodation within the park. Note this magnificent reserve lies within Zimbabwe's borders, requiring proper travel documentation for entry to both Zambia and Zimbabwe to facilitate this extraordinary cross-border adventure.

Founded in 1934, the Livingstone Museum holds the distinction of being Zambia's largest and most historic museum. This cultural institution offers you a fascinating journey through galleries showcasing collections spanning natural history, archaeology and ethnography. Among its most prized possessions are the archives of Dr Livingstone's personal correspondence and historical documents. There's also a shop in the museum if you want to purchase quality local artwork or other souvenirs.

The settlement of Soliman (on the Gulf of Tunis side) is worth the 40km trip for its characteristic feel - the town is very reminiscent of Moorish architecture typical of the Spanish south. Soliman is home to a couple historic mosques, and is only a short drive away from the nation's capital of Tunis.

The name "Hammamet" itself translates as the plural of "bath", so a visit to one of the local spas is bound to figure on your local itinerary. For a budget option, try the public baths in the Hammamet Medina (next to the Grand Mosque). Several spas and thalasso centers operate within the city limits, some much favored by holidaymakers.
