Track wildlife on a game drive in Lower Zambezi

Bordered by the mighty Zambezi and Chongwe rivers, the Lower Zambezi’s 1500 square miles offer landscapes of pretty sausage trees and winterthorn woodlands, and some rather fabulous game viewing. Hop into a vehicle and explore the hidden corners on blissfully private safari drives from your camp, usually taken in the morning and again in the afternoon (with stops for a cooling drink to keep you going). Helmed by a knowledgeable and all-seeing guide, treats in store include herds of elephant and buffalo grazing on the tiny isles in the middle of the river, hippo forming islands of their own, and furtive leopard lounging in the trees.
