Mwambashi River Lodge, is reputed to have the best location on the Lower Zambezi River is enriched with an exciting variety of  wildlife and river activities is found deep in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park.  

The open thatched 'sitenge' is a welcome gathering spot  with views across the Zambezi River and great sightings of big game which is often nearby!
Accommodation is in large stylish tents each with  own viewing deck under the shade of huge acacia albida trees which are home to abundant birds and wildlife. 

You can unwind in the comfort of your own verandah and closely watch the performance of creatures great and small.  While in camp you observe a wonderful variety of big game, prolific birdlife and other interesting fauna and flora.   Cool off in the plunge pool or bask on the deck  and absorb the magical scenery and wildlife.

 

The attraction in the Lower Zambezi is not only the location, but the variety of things to do and see. Situated on the southern border of Zambia is the Lower Zambezi Valley with the Zambezi Escarpment to the North and Mana Pools National Park across the river.  The Lower Zambezi  Valley with vast expanses of floodplain and lush vegetation, between the river and escarpment, is home to a myriad species of birds, wildlife and 4 of Africa's Big 5! All this with the added bonus of Mana Pools National Park on the opposite bank of the sometimes one kilometre wide  Zambezi River.

Game viewing from open 4 x 4's treats you to beautiful scenery, diverse flora and fauna, dazzling birdlife and many species of wildlife from minute to massive.  In the Lower Zambezi National Park THERE ARE NO 4 x 4 TRAFFIC JAMS! and often you won't see another vehicle the entire duration of your drive.  Night drives are often very exciting with viewings of some of the large cats, porcupine, hyena, civet cat and many more interesting nocturnal animals.

Your guide will look for flora and fauna of special curiosity to you and let you spend as long as you wish viewing them.  He will interest you with information on many species' behaviour and lifestyle and be glad to answer your questions.  Of particular attraction in the Lower Zambezi are the packs of African Wild Dog, the rare Angola Pitta, Samango Monkeys, and the Aardvaark among the many other exciting sightings of lion, leopard, hyena, and huge breeding herds of elephant.

Words alone simply cannot express the sensations that you will experience while Canoeing.  Whether canoeing the main river or the enchanted inland channels canoeing can be totally relaxing and equally exhilarating.  Our professional canoe guides  will lead you down stream allowing you to absorb the true essence of the river and valley. The only sounds are the gentle slap of your paddle and the hushed  instruction from your guide coupled with the unlimited sounds of the wilderness - truly a time to purify the soul!

Boating is for those that prefer a simple river experience where you can unwind and watch the wildlife on the river's edge or islands, from the comfort of the boat.  Your coxswain and guide will take you safely close enough to animals browsing the river banks so you can enjoy great photo opportunities set in splendid scenery.

Guided Walking: is another way to enjoy your stay with us.  Your guide will arrange a national park escort and together they will take you on a walk through the wilderness where you will see tracks and game from foot and even  learn of Africa's often forgotten little wildlife - like small rodents, colourful birds and reptiles as well as fascinating species of insects.

Fishing:  The Zambezi River has hundreds of different species of fish including the sporting and voracious Zambezi Tiger with their great fighting spirit.  Sometimes up to 35 kilogrammes or more, a  Zambezi catfish, the Vundu, is also an exciting fish to land.  All fishing is on a catch and release basis in the interests of conservation.  Angling in the Lower Zambezi River is always rewarding, throughout the season from April through November whether fishing off reel or fly.  A limited stock of fishing tackle is provided at our lodges and for serious anglers we recommend you bring your own.
