  • Because of the Victoria Falls’ spray, the forest beside it receives “rain” 24 hours a day, seven days a week!
  • Zambia is one of the world’s poorest countries and ranked 165th out of 177 on the Hum Dev Index
  • Lake Kariba is so huge that in certain parts of it, unknowing visitors think they are looking at the ocean.
  • The entire country’s telephone directory is not even one inch thick.
  • The national symbol is the African Fish Eagle, which looks much like the American Bald Eagle
  • If you look at the Victoria Falls’ mist from the correct angle, you will be able to see a circular rainbow. (Of course, all rainbows are really circular, but it is very seldom that we get to see more than the top half.)
