LOWER ZAMBEZI NP

Zambia

Explore

Lower Zambezi National Park covers an area of 4,092 km2 (1,580 mi2), with game concentrated on the valley floor. There is an escarpment along the northern end which acts as a physical barrier to most of the park’s resident wildlife, and enormous herds of elephant, some up to 100 strong, are often seen at the river’s edge. The riverine woodland includes ebony, fig, and Albida trees, whose seed pods are a huge attraction to the elephants and browsing animals. Further inland is a floodplain fringed with Mopane forest interspersed with winter thorns and huge Acacias. The hills which form the backdrop to the park are covered in broadleaf woodland and on the opposite bank of the river lies Zimbabwe's Mana Pools. Animals can be seen crossing from one side to the other. Game viewing activities take place both on the water, by boat and canoes, and on the land by four-wheel drive game viewing vehicles or on foot (bush walks). Enjoys dinners to the sounds of the African evening by candle light in the open air dining tent, by star light on the deck, by campfire light deep in the bush, or by lantern light in the privacy of your own deck. Lunches can be taken on a sandbank in the Zambezi River, with the water lapping at your feet. And days end with sundowners watching the sun set over the Zambezi escarpment from the deck or overlooking the river or open plains.
