Cover Story

Bridging the Zambezi
Livingstone foresaw the Zambezi as an economic gateway for Africa. How wrong he was! When Victorian explorer Dr David Livingstone built a paddle steamer and started his exploratory journey from the Zambezi Delta, his goal was to open the interior of the continent to commercial development. From the time that his expedition floundered disappointingly at the Cahora Bassa rapids, politicians, economists and engineers in numbers have regarded the Zambezi as a colossal obstruction to regional trade and communication.

Feature Stories

ZimParks take to the air
Zimbabwe’s socio-economic circumstances have presented critical challenges to maintaining conservation integrity and the continuity of wildlife protection efforts by the rangers of the Zimbabwe Parks & Wildlife Management Authority. Park rangers, a key frontline force, require recognition and support in their efforts to protect our wildlife and environment.

A bright future for tourism
Zambezi Traveller meets with Zambia’s Hon. Minister of Tourism and Arts, Sylvia Masebo.

Tourism in the spotlight
Activity around the Victoria Falls both in Zambia and Zimbabwe has been frenetic for the past few months as Livingstone and Victoria Falls were chosen to cohost the UNWTO 20th General Assembly.
