Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Lower Zambezi National Park is located in southeastern Zambia along the northern bank of the Zambezi River. Spanning approximately 4,092 square kilometers, it is characterized by rugged terrain, diverse ecosystems, and breathtaking landscapes. The park supports a range of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, and a variety of antelope species. It was established as a national park in 1983 and has since become a popular destination for safari enthusiasts. The park's placement adjacent to the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe creates a trans-boundary conservation area, enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem management. Visitors are drawn to the park’s unspoiled beauty, opportunities for canoeing along the river, and guided walking safaris that offer a chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat.
