JPS Luxury Safaris Lower Zambezi National Park

Lower Zambezi National Park

The Lower Zambezi National Park protects a beautiful section of the Greater Zambezi wilderness, an area which also includes Mana Pools National Park across the other side of the mighty river. Courageous lions often brave the currents, crocodiles and hippos to swim between the two national parks to invade new territories and start new prides.

The few lodges situated along the Lower Zambezi’s banks are of high quality in terms of location and activities offered. The sheer diversity of safari experience here is fantastic, with day and night game drives, varied walking (often mixed in with canoe trips) along the riverine forested banks or down the smaller river tributaries, longer canoe safaris and motorboat trips. The excellent elephant, hippo and buffalo interactions guests can have from the canoes, as well as the chance to see big game on the river banks, from a perspective of looking back towards the escarpment from the river, make safari here very exciting.

The Lower Zambezi complements the drier South Luangwa ecosystem very well and often works well in combination with Victoria Falls on the Upper Zambezi as well as the vast Kafue landscape in Zambia’s heart.

Earthy, graceful, sophisticated and smart, camps like Chiawa attract repeat and traditional safari-goers year-in year-out. Open, approachable, charming and professional guides round off the Lower Zambezi experience. The stunning Mana Canoe Trail over on the other Zimbabwe side of the Zambezi River is well worth considering as an add-on to Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park, especially for those looking for a more high octane, yet still high end camping/canoeing/walking adventure.
