The Lower Zambezi is one of the most attractive & rewarding safari destinations in Zambia.
A Lower Zambezi safari is magical because of the sheer range of game-viewing activities. Safaris takes place on foot, in open 4×4 vehicles, by boat and, most characteristically, by canoe. You can glide silently among animals quenching their thirst without disturbing them.
The Lower Zambezi National Park lies on the northern banks of the magnificent Zambezi River in Zambia. The Zambezi River offers a natural boundary on one side (with 120 km of river frontage). There’s a dramatic wooded escarpment on the other. This escarpment not only provides a picturesque backdrop for your photos but, more pertinently, it’s a natural break on wildlife movements.
In between the floodplains are beautiful stands of leadwood, ebony and fig trees. Under the trees the bush is relatively sparse which means, in practical terms, that you can spot the game easily. Thus a Lower Zambezi safari offers some of the best game-viewing in Southern Africa. Especially in the dry season (June to October). It provides a rich and mesmerizing water sanctuary for wildlife.
Great herds of elephant, buffalo and impala, and small groups of warthog, zebra and baboon are drawn to the river. Excellent tiger fishing is also available on a catch and release basis. Birding is superb in the Lower Zambezi with over 500 species recorded here.
We arrange trips to more than 100+ destinations throughout the African continent.
