Zambia & Lower Zambezi National Park The Lower Zambezi National Park is a relatively new National Park, officially gazetted as a National Park in 1983. The Zambezi Escarpment along the northern boundary towers above the Zambezi Valley, which also forms part of the Southern limit of the Great East African Rift Valley. With a river frontage of about 120km, the valley floor and the Escarpment combined with the plateau gives the Lower Zambezi National Park magnificent picturesque scenery, providing a memorable experience for any visitor. Though, it is the Zambezi Valley and the river that captures all of the game. The park is opposite to Mana Pools National Park, a World Heritage Site across the frontier in Zimbabwe, but has the added advantage of the Rift Valley wall and the Escarpment. The park receives few visitors today, yet it won't be long before the great potential is realised and the solitude experience that makes the Lower Zambezi National Park - "The Real Africa", slowly becomes more and more like the other crowded parks throughout Africa.
