Lower Zambezi National Park | Safari Accommodation Zambia

Accommodation deals and where to stay in the Lower Zambezi National Park

Safari accommodation in Zambia is ever available and ever valuable in the wildlife-rich Lower Zambezi National Park region sought after for its personalized walking safaris, riverside bush camps and conservation ethics. This valley is a Voyage2Africa dream destination and we recommend well-known camps and lodges suitable for family safari vacations and romantic couples’ retreats.

The first thing you must do in the Lower Zambezi Valley is meet the legendary Cummings family who started the idea of Chiawa and now have several top-class camps in Zambia. These offer first-class safaris for clients who really care about wildlife and the environment. Chiawa is a multi-award winning destination on the magic Zambezi River where luxury chalets offer outside bathtubs and elephant herds graze beside hippos and crocs. Guest explore the wilderness on game drives, boat cruises, canoe trips and walking safaris.

Chiawa’s smaller sister camp, the genial Old Mondoro Bush Camp, is about getting back to nature, in 5 wooden tented chalets raised on stilts overlooking the river. Plenty of lions and leopards here and game drives with passionate game rangers and trackers.

Tented safari accommodation along the banks of the Zambezi River focuses on canoeing and fishing while sundowner game drives treat all visitors to the Lower Zambezi National Park landscapes in all their stunning glory. Contact Voyage2Africa to organize your special tour package deal to Zambia and we can combine it with a few days at Victoria Falls and Livingstone.
