| ![]() ZAMBIALower Zambezi National ParkAgainst a majestic backdrop of mountains, the mighty Zambezi snakes like a huge silver python from horizon to horizon. This is the Lower Zambezi National Park. Located on Zambia’s southern border, across from Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park, it is a true hidden gem. Zambia’s fourth largest national park has almost 150 kilometres of Zambezi river bank and more than 4000 square kilometres of breathtaking wilderness.
This is the real, wild Africa, with no fences, offering the opportunity to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells of the bush.
The Zambezi is wide here and dotted with islands, making it perfect for the huge herds of elephant and buffalo which call this area home. It’s also perfect for game-viewing and exciting encounters with these magnificent animals. The Lower Zambezi National Park is also home to Africa’s apex predators – lion, leopard and wild dog - and more than 500 species of bird. The combination of the river and the park’s rich and diverse eco-systems make the Lower Zambezi a birdwatcher’s paradise. Pel’s fishing owl is a regular sighting, and fish eagles are two-a-penny. Look out for pennant-winged nightjars, woolly-necked storks and the impressive goliath heron. Activities on offer include morning and evening game drives, walking and photographic safaris, canoeing, river excursions and fishing for the Zambezi’s elusive water dog: the tiger fish.
