Zambia · Southern Africa
Lower Zambezi.
The Lower Zambezi is a river park where canoeing and fishing sit alongside game drives, opposite Zimbabwe's Mana Pools.

The escarpment holds game down onto a floodplain along the Zambezi, and the river itself is the activity: canoe safaris past elephant crossing between islands, tiger fishing, and boat-based game viewing.
It pairs naturally with South Luangwa because the two are so different — one a river, one a valley — and both are reached by light aircraft from Lusaka.
