Lower Zambezi National Park
After plunging over Victoria Falls and filling Lake Kariba, the Zambezi River becomes a wide and game-rich floodplain with islands, lagoons and sandbanks. Lower Zambezi National Park is located between the rugged Zambezi escarpment and the mighty Zambezi River; with Mana Pools National Park, on the Zimbabwe side of the river, the whole area is a massive wildlife sanctuary of intense beauty.
What Will I See?
- The Zambezi River teeming with hippos and crocs

When Should I Go?
The Park is only accessible during the dry months from April through November; game viewing improves as the land dries and animals gather at the river.
