Lower Zambezi Safari: By Vehicle, Canoe, Boat or on Foot
The Lower Zambezi National Park is magical. Not only for its beauty and wildlife, but for the sheer range of safari activities. Game drives, bush walks, canoeing past elephants as they quench their thirst, plus sunset river cruises. All combine to create an unforgettable Lower Zambia safari. This variety - topped off with excellent guiding and romantic riverside lodges - makes it one of our favourite picks for safari lovers, photographers and honeymooners alike.
Landscape & Game-Viewing
The Lower Zambezi National Park hugs the northern banks of the magnificent Zambezi River in Zambia. The river offers a natural boundary on one side (120 km of scenic river frontage). Whilst the dramatic wooded escarpment to the north provides a picturesque backdrop for your photos. And acts as a natural break on wildlife movements.
Beautiful stands of leadwood, ebony and sweet thorn trees lie between the floodplains. Under this canopy, the bush is relatively sparse. So game-viewing is a little easier. This, combined with the river, means that a Lower Zambezi safari offers some of the best game-viewing in Southern Africa.
Getting to the Lower Zambezi
The Lower Zambezi is connected to Lusaka with daily light aircraft charter flights (on seat in flight rates). You fly into one of two airstrips depending on your camp’s location. From there, it’s a scenic road or boat transfer to your lodge—often both!
