Best Time May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct
Der Nationalpark Lower Zambezi erstreckt sich entlang des ufernahen Abschnitts des Sambesi-Flusses, gegenüber den Mana Pools in Simbabwe. Dieses Überschwemmungsgebiet beherbergt riesige Elefantenherden, große Nilpferdegesellschaften, Krokodile, Löwen, Leoparden und Wildhunde. Eine Kanutour auf dem Sambesi – wobei man zwischen Elefanten, die fressen, und schlafenden Nilpferden paddelt – ist eines der größten Abenteuererlebnisse Afrikas. Der Park verfügt über keine asphaltierten Straßen und eine sehr begrenzte Besucherzahl, was eine authentische Wildnisatmosphäre bewahrt.
