    About Zambezi National Park

    Zambezi National Park stretches 50kms upstream and inland from Victoria falls, along the Zambezi River towards Kazungula

    The Zambezi National Park is located upstream from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, stretching for some 50 kilometres along the Zambezi river.

    This beautiful gem of a National Park is little known, despite its proximity to the world-famous Victoria Falls.

    Split off from the Victoria Falls National Park in 1979, the 56,000 hectares of pristine wilderness and wildlife habitat has been a National Park in its own right ever since.

    The Park is bisected by a tar road that runs between Victoria Falls and the Kazangula border post, dividing it into two sections.

    Why We Love It
    • Despite The Zambezi National Park being one of the smallest national parks in Zimbabwe, this park is one of the most scenic game reserves in Zimbabwe with common sightings of the magnificent giant African hippos and crocodiles dotted along the Zambezi River
    • The vegetation is mainly mopane woodland and Riverine forests with some amazing trees that include apple-ring, figs and ebony
    • Development on the banks of the Zambezi River, upstream of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, has been carefully controlled, allowing for an intimate safari experience!
    • The broad Zambezi River draws thirsty animals during the dry season (April-October). This cascading spectacle draws plenty of visitors to the area and provides unique opportunities for exquisite sightings
    • There are plenty of picnic sites along the Zambezi River where guests are welcome to fish from and the riverine is filled with thrilling birdlife, excellent for bird-watching enthusiasts
    Good to know

    Victoria falls is a year-round destination and every season brings something distinct to appreciate!

    Even when the water levels of the falls are low, you will have amazing panoramic views and the opportunity to spot numerous rainbows above and right in the middle of the falls

    • Rainy Season (November - Early April): The river fills up to dramatic levels with spectacular views of the falls and a thick mist-spray being seen from kilometres away
    • Flood Season (February - May): The water level of the river is at its highest with more water than any other waterfall in the world
    • Dry Season (May - September): This is the perfect game viewing season with the days being mild and sunny and plenty of wildlife being spotted as they congregate around water holes
    • Hot Season (October - November): The perfect time to enjoy game viewing during the cooler hour of dawn and dusk with daytime temperatures exceeding 30 degrees celsius. This season also brings a clearer view of the high rock faces which are normally obstructed from the mist of the falls in other seasons
