The Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia, proclaimed in 1983, adjoins the famous Mana Pools Reserve in Zimbabwe, by way of the adjoining the Zambezi River. The Lower Zambezi National Park covers 4092 square kilometers.
The northern escarpment divides the park acting as a barrier for the animal species. Thus the majority of the game is located in the valley. The Lower Zambezi National Park safari lodges and canoe operators offer the best access to the park. They collect guests from Lusaka or Chirundu or Kariba in Zimbabwe. Transfers into the park are either in a 4x4, canoe or pontoon.
A small area of the valley is home to many of the bigger mammals. Birdlife along the riverbanks is exceptional with many endemic species. Vegetation in the area is mainly Acacia forests. The Lower Zambezi National Park offers a unique combination of canoeing, fishing and wildlife safaris in Zambia.
