The lower Zambezi River is essentially the stretch that runs downstream from Kariba Gorge to the Mozambican border. This section is particularly well known for Mana Pools National Park, the World Heritage Site on the Zimbabwean bank. The area is best tackled via a canoe safari.
The Zambian shoreline has a selection of excellent safari lodges en route down towards the Lower Zambezi National Park. This park is still wild and relatively undeveloped.
This part of the valley with its riverine forests, broad flood plains and woodlands provide excellent wildlife habitats and the birding is spectacular year round.
