The main attraction is the dry season (July to October) game viewing when the diverse wildlife congregates near the Zambezi River.
Elegant camps sit on the edge of the Zambezi River where hippos wallow and crocodiles gape on its lush green river banks. Elephants wade back and forth across the river boundary dividing the National Parks of the Lower Zambezi and Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools directly opposite. The opportunities to get close to elephants wandering in and out of the Zambezi channels are amazing, whether viewed from the river bank or by boat or canoe.
Inland we have a beautiful valley that could almost have been designed by Capability Brown where winter thorn trees drop their “so called” apple ring pods. When the dry season takes hold, herds of impala and elephants gorge on these treats.
A rugged escarpment punctuates a halt to this Garden of Eden, confining and concentrating the wildlife within the park. This makes for exceptional game viewing. Lion and leopard, the parks major predators, stalk buffalo and antelope species who share this territory with serval, honey badgers, hyenas, porcupine, genets and more.
A select number of camps are dotted along the length of the Zambezi offering clients a luxury safari experience with outstanding levels of hospitality and wildlife game viewing. Tiger fishing joins the list of exciting activities with wilderness brunches a speciality in this part of Zambia.
