Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia

Contact a specialist about Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia

During our daily walks and drives we encountered leopard, hunting lions and had a few close encounters with feisty bull elephants but some of my best memories are of the 'in between' times relaxing in camp. As the sun sets gales of strange snorting laughter erupt as pods of hippos make their way onto the river banks for a night's grazing. Elephants frequently wander into camp - there is something very soothing about their presence.

This National Park is downstream of the mighty Victoria Falls and follows the Zambezi River as it flows towards Mozambique (marking the border with Zambia), and eventually the ocean. The park is a wondrous place to view high concentrations of animals in the dry season as they migrate to the permanent waters of the Zambezi River. A real highlight of any trip to this park is the opportunity of taking a canoe out onto the water to view antelope, buffalo and elephant herds on the bank. While game tracking you can often see leopard, lion, wild dogs and hyenas. Bird watchers will be ecstatic with the vast array of colourful birds that reside here.
