This area includes the lower section of the Zambezi River, which is regarded as Africa’s best canoe safari region. Meandering leisurely down the Zambezi in a canoe, and watching wild animals as they stand along the banks is a safari experience second to none.
The Lower Zambezi National Park lies nestled between the rolling hills of the escarpment and the mighty Zambezi River. The escarpment acts as a kind of barrier keeping most animals concentrated along the valley floor. Enormous herds of elephant, up to 100 strong, are often seen at the river’s edge as well as buffalo and waterbuck. Lion and leopard are also never too far away.
