Camera: Canon EOS 350D; Lens: Canon 100-400mm IS zoom.

Location: The Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia covers an area of 4,090 sq km. Situated on the northern bank of the Zambezi River, it enjoys about 120km of outstanding river frontage.

On the opposite side of the wide river is Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park, a World Heritage Site. Larger animals like elephant and buffalo negotiate the river to cross freely between the two parks and on both sides of the river there is an impressive variety of wildlife to be viewed and enjoyed. As a result Lower Zambezi offers a memorable safari experience, with activities ranging from traditional game drives to canoeing and sundowner cruises.
