Frequently asked questions
About Lower Zambezi National Park
Located in southeastern Zambia, Lower Zambezi National Park is a pristine wilderness area known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. The official currency used in Zambia is the Zambian Kwacha. The park is home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. Visitors can enjoy activities such as game drives, boat safaris, and fishing excursions along the Zambezi River. Accommodation options range from luxury lodges to tented camps, offering a unique safari experience in the heart of Africa.
When to visit
The best time to visit Lower Zambezi National Park is during the dry season from April to October when wildlife congregates around the Zambezi River. The weather is cooler during this time, making it ideal for game viewing and outdoor activities. The wet season from November to March brings lush greenery but also heavy rainfall, which can make some areas inaccessible. It is important to note that the park is closed during the rainy season from December to March.
Getting around
Visitors can explore Lower Zambezi National Park by booking guided game drives or boat safaris with experienced local guides. Self-driving is not recommended due to the rugged terrain and potential wildlife encounters. Some lodges offer transfers from nearby airports, such as Lusaka or Royal Airstrip, to the park entrance. Once inside the park, safari vehicles are the primary mode of transportation for game viewing and exploring the diverse landscapes.
Traveller tips
Pack lightweight and breathable clothing for hot days and layer up for cooler evenings. Remember to bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat for sun protection. Respect wildlife and follow the guidance of your guides to ensure a safe and enjoyable safari experience. Stay hydrated and carry a refillable water bottle to reduce plastic waste. Don't forget your camera to capture the incredible wildlife sightings and picturesque landscapes.
