Zambia | Lower Zambezi

For the ultimate African safari - you need to experience the wildlife and fishing along the banks of the Zambezi river in the Lower Zambezi Valley of Zambia.  For decades, the Lower Zambezi Valley has offered some of the best wildlife safari adventures and awesome Tiger Fishing, whilst staying at one of the number of great safari lodges located along the river bank of the Zambezi River.   African Bundu Safaris frequently includes one of the fantastic luxury safari lodges in the Lower Zambezi Valley for their clients, before or after visiting Vic Falls in Livingstone, the Kafue National Park and the South Luangwa National Park. 
The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa, and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. The Lower Zambezi National Park lies on the north bank of the Zambezi River. On the opposite bank is Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park. The two parks sit on the Zambezi flood plain ringed by mountains, the area is a world heritage site. The Luangwa River and the Kafue River are the two largest left-hand tributaries of the Zambezi. The Kafue joins the main river in a quiet deep stream about 180 metres (590 ft) wide. From this point the northward bend of the Zambezi is checked and the stream continues due east. At the confluence of the Luangwa (15°37' S) it enters Mozambique. The Zambezi River supports large populations of many animals. Hippopotamuses are abundant along most of the  calm stretches of the river, and many crocodiles are also present. The Zambezi also supports several hundred species of fish, some of which are endemic to the river. Important species include cichlids which are fished heavily for food, as well as catfish, tigerfish, yellowfish and other large species. The Lower Zambezi National Park itself is ringed by a much larger game management area (commonly referred to as GMA), there are no fences between the park and the GMA and both animals and people are free to roam across the whole area. The attraction of the Lower Zambezi park and its surrounding GMA is its remote location, unlike South African parks there are no tarred roads and you are very unlikely to encounter another tourist whilst traveling around. Most large mammals in the national park congregate on the floodplain, including buffalo, numerous elephants, lions, leopards and many antelope, crocodiles and hippopotamuses.There are also a large number of species of birds.
