Lower Zambezi National Park in southern Zambia is famed for canoe safaris amid riverside elephants, buffalo and quiet wilds.

📍 Destination Overview

Lower Zambezi National Park lies on the northern bank of the lower Zambezi River in Zambia, facing Zimbabwe's Mana Pools. The broad river glides past lush woodland and floodplains teeming with elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, lions, antelope, and zebra. Its greatest allure is the quiet canoe safari, viewing wildlife from water level.
