Best Time May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct
Le parc national de Lower Zambezi s'étend le long de la rive zambienne du fleuve Zambèze, en face des réserves de Mana Pools au Zimbabwe. Cet écosystème de plaine inondée abrite de vastes populations d'éléphants, de grands groupes d'hippopotames, ainsi que des crocodiles, des lions, des léopards et des lycaons. Faire du canoë sur le Zambèze, en pagayant entre les éléphants qui se nourrissent et les hippopotames qui dorment, est l'une des expériences d'aventure les plus extraordinaires d'Afrique. Le parc ne possède pas de routes goudronnées à l'intérieur et le nombre de visiteurs est très limité, ce qui contribue à préserver une atmosphère de nature sauvage authentique.
