Until 1983, when Lower Zambezi was proclaimed a national park, the area curiously served as the private reserve for the President of Zambia. As such, the park is one of the most remote and well-preserved in the country, and forms together with Mana Pools National Park, across the border with Zimbabwe, an important conservation area in southern Africa, protecting the rich and diverse ecosystem of the Zambezi River.

The park has consistent populations of elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, hippos and crocodiles. Lions, leopards and hyenas are also frequently found. The rare wild dog is occasionally spotted and 378 species of birds attract experienced bird watchers. A careful selection of exquisite lodges guarantees the best experience during your stay in the park.
