Lower Zambezi National Park Safaris
Experience some of Zambia’s best water based safaris
Set along the Zambezi river, the Lower Zambezi National Park is a great place to experience water based safaris, giving you a new and unique perspective of the local wildlife. From canoe safaris to river cruises, there’s something for everyone, and of course, if you’d prefer a more traditional safari they’re available too.
The park is habitat to all of the critical species in the valley, with sightings of elephant, hyena, waterbuck, zebra, impala, bushbuck, buffalo, lion, leopard, wild dogs, and kudu to name a few. Birdlife in the area is also excellent, making this a real hotspot for bird watchers.
One thing that we love about the national park is the multiday tours down the river. Recommended to do via a canoe, you will paddle down the river stopping for lunch at beautiful riverside stops and staying overnight at various riverside camps. A truly immersive river experience.
