Lower Zambezi

For many years , the Lower Zambezi was a forgotten wilderness. It covers an exceptionally beautiful 4,000 square kilometres, with a backdrop of the steeply rising Zambezi Escarpment; its most characteristic feature being the Zambezi itself.

Elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard and huge herds of Cape buffalo are all resident here. Perhaps though, the Zambezi is best known for its boating safaris. Tranquil yet exciting, these trips through waters such as the Chifungulu Channel are an excellent way to appreciate the Zambezi. You can go out on motor-boats and birdwatch or fish, or head out in a canoe!
