Things to see in Zambia: Lower Zambezi

For many years this was a forgotten wilderness. It covers an exceptionally beautiful 4,000 square kilometres with a backdrop of the steeply rising Zambezi Escarpment, its most characteristic feature being the eponymous Zambezi River. Elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard and huge herds of Cape buffalo all reside here and it is well known for wild dog.

However the Zambezi is best known for its boating safaris. Tranquil yet exciting, these trips through waters such as the Chifungulu Channel are an excellent way to appreciate the river. You can go out on motorboats and birdwatch or fish, or head out in a canoe!
