Discover Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia

AboutLower Zambezi National Park

The Lower Zambezi, a key national park of Zambia, lies between the rugged and dramatic Zambezi escarpment and the wide and spectacular Zambezi River. The Zambezi runs for 120 km through the park and with the protection of the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe on the opposite side this is a haven for wildlife. There are many channels, lagoons, sandbanks and islands along the river and then open plains, woodland and bush areas behind the riverine strip. The river is a massive attraction and offers boating, drifting, canoeing and fishing, all with breathtaking views. For the avid fisherman, the tiger fishing (on a catch and release basis) is worth a week out here for.

General information

The Lower Zambezi National Park covers an area of 4092 square kilometers. For many years, this area was the private game reserve of Zambia’s president, until it was officially established in 1983. The Lower Zambezi National Park and its surrounding GMA are located in one of the most remote areas in Africa. There aren’t any paved roads here, so you’ll likely never see another tourist while traveling around this vast area.
Tourists come to this park by boat or aircraft, but not by road. The only other way is if you have 4×4 skills and even then, it’s restricted during certain times of year when the river isn’t safe enough to cross without proper equipment.
