Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia

Zambezi Dreams

What To Expect

Lower Zambezi National Park is in southern Zambia, on the Zimbabwean border.
In the south, the Zambezi River valley is known for abundant wildlife, including buffalo, fish eagles and herds of elephants.

Canoes ply the river, which is home to hippos and crocodiles. In the east, the river passes past the striking red cliffs of Mupata Gorge, with its fish-filled waters. North is the steep and rugged Zambezi Escarpment.

Come to a place where animals roam the unfenced safari camps, where Africa’s most unspoiled nature stretches out in front of you, where traces of people are hard to find and where nighttime is about sitting under an incredibly black sky, dotted with countless stars.

One of the highlights of a safari to Lower Zambezi National Park is the ability to enjoy the Zambezi River. Activities include bushwalks, game drives and canoeing on the Zambezi.
