A floodplain rich in wildlife and vegetation
In Zambia, downstream from Victoria Falls and after feeding Lake Kariba, the Zambezi River forms a fertile floodplain rich in vegetation and wildlife. This area is protected within Lower Zambezi National Park, established in 1983 and covering approximately 4,092 square kilometres.
The park has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is dotted with baobabs, acacias, African ebony trees and mahoganies, and is home to hundreds of bird species. The valley supports large herds of elephants and buffalo, as well as waterbuck, lions and leopards, while the river itself is inhabited by hippos and crocodiles.
For water-based activities, Lower Zambezi National Park is a true paradise. We particularly recommend a boat safari, an exciting experience that offers a unique perspective on the landscape and the opportunity to observe animals gathering along the riverbanks to drink.
