Lower Zambezi National Park was founded in 1983, until then it was the private game reserve of Zambia’s president. The park is 4,092km² and located in Zambia’s central province it lies on the north bank of the Zambezi River. The area is still unspoiled as it is new to tourism and is afforded a high level of protection from the Zambian government.

The park lies opposite the UNSESCO world heritage site Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, so both sides of the Zambezi River is a massive wildlife sanctuary, therefore the opportunities to get close to game wandering in and out of the Zambezi channels are spectacular.
