Lower Zambezi National Park, located in southeastern Zambia along the Zambezi River, covers an area of 4,092 square kilometers. It is one of Zambia’s premier safari destinations, offering a stunning combination of riverine wilderness, floodplains, and escarpment woodlands. The park is directly opposite Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park, creating a vast transboundary conservation area.

Lower Zambezi is renowned for its untouched wilderness and intimate safari experiences, with limited camps ensuring low visitor numbers. The Zambezi River is the park’s lifeblood, attracting large herds of elephants, buffalo, and antelope, as well as predators like lions, leopards, and wild dogs. The park also supports an impressive variety of birdlife.

What sets Lower Zambezi apart is its range of water-based activities—visitors can enjoy canoe safaris, boat cruises, fishing, and riverbank game viewing, often with elephants wading through the water nearby. It’s ideal for travelers seeking exclusivity and close encounters with wildlife in a pristine setting.
