Introduction to Wildlife Issues

On the Wildlife tour you will visit two national parks to explore the economic activity arising out of Zambia's rich natural history. Poverty is driving many communities to derive their income from illegal hunting of certain animal species. It is these very wild animals that perhaps offer a key to future development through tourism. The final destination of this tour takes you to Livingstone the centre of Zambia's tourist industry to examine the impact of tourism and the economic problems that the industry faces.
