Camera: Canon EOS 350D; Lens: Canon 80-200mm F2.8 zoom.

Location: The Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia covers an area of 4,090 sq km. It is situated on the northern bank of the Zambezi River and enjoys about 120km of spectacular river frontage.

On the opposite side of the river is Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park, a World Heritage Site, and animals can cross freely between the two parks. As a result there is a profusion of wildlife, with large herds of elephant and buffalo often sighted, while predators like lion and leopard can also often be seen when on a game drive or while exploring the Zambezi River's many channels in a canoe.
