Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Southern Africa’s most stunning wildlife destinations set along the northern bank of the Zambezi River opposite Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools. The park’s combination of riverine forest, island-dotted river channels, and open floodplains creates a diverse and scenic landscape. Safari here is defined by the river — canoe safaris drift past elephant herds drinking on the banks while hippo and crocodile share the waterway. Game drives explore the floodplains where large herds of buffalo, elephant, and various antelope graze. The park has seen remarkable wildlife recovery in recent decades with growing predator populations including lion and leopard. Tiger fishing on the Zambezi adds a sporting dimension and the park’s exclusive camps ensure a low-density premium safari experience.
