Located on the Zimbabwean border in the southern reaches of Zambia, the Lower Zambezi region is best known as the home to the Lower Zambezi National Park which features exceptional, undeveloped wildlife areas. It is renowned for its abundant game - hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, fish eagles, and herds of elephants can be spotted, among other species. The landscape is characterised by rugged, unspoilt wilderness of vast floodplains, scattered with indigenous woodlands. Visitors can look forward to an array of wonderful activities along the Zambezi including game drives, walking safaris, canoe trips, and excellent tiger fishing.
Based on the banks of the Kafue River, deep within Kafue National Park, Musekese's landscape shifts between miombo woodlands and open plains, and waterways, creating a environment that support a wide range of wildlife. Elephant herds are frequently seen during the dry season, while plains game such as sable, hartebeest, zebra, and large numbers of puku are common across the grasslands. Birding is particularly rewarding, with hundreds of species recorded in the area. A permanent, water-fed lagoon—locally called a dambo—draws wildlife throughout the year. Canoe safaris offer a quiet way to explore river channels rich in birds and hippos. Game drives and walking safaris help visitors explore further. A visit to the Musekese Conservation NGO Research Centre provides insight into ongoing efforts to protect the area.
Zambia’s flourishing border town, Livingstone, or Maramba, is situated in the South Province of the country. The British colonial city is a tourism centre for the nearby Victoria Falls, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, and the Zambezi River. Continuously growing, this romantic destination is rich in culture and history, with a host of adrenaline-infused experiences to choose from including bungee jumping, abseiling, gorge swinging, white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, and jet boating. For visitors seeking a more relaxed experience, there are countless other activities on offer too. Visit the fascinating Livingstone Museum, take a helicopter flight over the roaring fall, or experience a superb game drive in the UNESCO-listed Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, home to African elephants, hippopotamus, and an impressive variety of bird species.
