The Lower Zambezi National Park is the most recent of Zambia's National Parks and was for many years a forgotten wilderness. It lies along the northern banks of the Zambezi River opposite Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. The waters of the Zambezi are a focal point for the wildlife, which includes elephant, hippo, buffalo, zebra, lion, leopard, various antelope species, baboon and vervet monkey, together with a great variety of birds.
