Located in southern Zambia along the border with Zimbabwe, the Lower Zambezi region is renowned for its spectacular wilderness and the wildlife-rich Lower Zambezi National Park. One of Africa’s most unspoilt safari destinations, the area is characterised by vast floodplains, indigenous woodlands, and the mighty Zambezi River, which supports an abundance of wildlife. Visitors can expect to see elephants, hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, fish eagles, and a variety of other species in their natural habitat. The region offers a diverse range of safari experiences, including game drives, guided walking safaris, canoe excursions along the river, and some of the finest tiger fishing opportunities in Africa.
Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya—“The Smoke That Thunders”—Victoria Falls is one of the world’s great natural landmarks. Straddling the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe, it forms a vast curtain of water that fills the air with mist and sound. The Zimbabwean side grants the most dramatic views, where mist rises like ghostly curtains and rainbows arc through the spray. Measuring about 1,708 metres across, it is regarded as the largest single continuous sheet of falling water on Earth. The adjacent town of Victoria Falls provides a convenient base for exploring the region, with a wide range of activities from scenic flights and microlight trips to white-water rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking, and safaris into Chobe National Park.
