Overview

Welcome to Zambia, where beautiful sceneries and vast wilderness live in harmony.

Here is one of Zambia's famous parks, Lower Zambezi National Park. From the animals to the various activities held inside the park, this Zambia safari holiday will leave you with beautiful memories and a love for wildlife.

This park is still relatively underdeveloped; however, its beauty lies in its wilderness state. The diversity of animals is not as varied as the other big parks but the opportunities to get close to game wandering in and out of the Zambezi channels are just as spectacular.

The park lies opposite the famous Mana Pools Reserve in Zimbabwe, the whole area on both sides of the Zambezi River is a massive wildlife sanctuary.
