The National Park is unspoilt with stunning scenery and varied wildlife. Here the riverine landscape and vegetation are very distinctive and quite different from other parks in the subcontinent. Perhaps it is the richness of the soils which allows the trees to grow so tall and strong, forming woodlands with carpets of grasses, and only limited thickets of shrubs to obscure the viewing of game. The acacia species include some superb specimens of winter thorn and the flat-topped umbrella thorn – both of these produce seedpods which the wildlife devour. All this results in a beautiful, lush landscape that can support a lot of game, and is excellent for the ease of viewing which it allows. The river is the focal point for the abundant riverine flora and fauna.

Aside from its beauty and simply being in such a pristine wilderness, visitors can enjoy a range of exciting activities which is why the Lower Zambezi is such a staggeringly good safari option for families and honeymooners alike. Boating is a must, and for the more intrepid then canoeing is a lovely way to spend a morning. The Lower Zambezi also has some of the very best tiger fishing in the world. On land, day and night drives are fantastic, as well as excellent walking safaris. The Lower Zambezi is one of the only parks on the continent you could spend 5 nights in one camp and do something different every day.
