Lower Zambezi
Valley

Situated in the southeastern corner of Zambia, on the banks of the Zambezi River, approximately 150 kilometers down stream from Kariba Dam and opposite Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park is Lower Zimbabwe National Park. Established in 1983, the park covers an area of 4100 kilometers with 120 kilometers of river frontage.

This area is rich in biological diversity. The forests, wetlands and natural geographical features form complex eco-systems that support abundant wildlife, and the wilderness landscapes and natural resources are of exceptional value.

It is home to a large number of mammal species including elephant, hippo, buffalo, kudu, zebra, impala, bushbuck, duiker, klipspringer, lion, leopard, hyena, African wild dog, serval, civet, genet, aardvark, chacma baboon and vervet monkeys, just to name a few.


With the Zambezi River as one of the park's natural boundaries, the area also attracts an abundance of birdlife estimated
