The Lower Zambezi National Park protects a large section of the stunning Zambezi valley. This is a superb area for safari with a wonderful scenic backdrop of the mighty Zambezi River and the surrounding mountains.
One aspect that makes time spent here so rewarding is the fabulous mix of activities either on land or river.
Day and night game drives are high on the list of priorities and offered both inside and outside the park – although our experience has shown us that the big game viewing does improve significantly the further you stay within the park.
Walking safaris are widely available offering visitors the chance to get closer to the wildlife in a different way.
The canoeing safaris here are phenominol. The Zambezi and its various channels offer a terrific way to relax and view elephants, hippos and other big game from the water.
Fishing on the Zambezi, primarily for tigerfish, is good fun whether just for a few hours or, for the enthusiast, days on end.
There are some great camps within this region which can stand alone or be combined together to make up an excellent longer stay:
Our favourite camp for its delightful location, genuine style, atmosphere and value is Chongwe River Camp.
A superb owner-managed camp with luxury, style and incredible game viewing on-site is Sausage Tree Camp.
The more down to earth bushcamp experience is found at Old Mondoro Camp.
For a private and intimate Safari House option then Chongwe River House offers something special.
We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
