Lower Zambezi
Redcliff Lodge graces the periphery of the Lower Zambezi National Park, nestled within the embrace of the majestic Mpata Gorge.
The Lower Zambezi National Park, situated in the southeastern part of Zambia, earned its designation as a national park in 1983. Prior to this, it served as the private reserve of Zambia’s president, safeguarding its wilderness from the bustling footprints of mass tourism.
Shielded from exploitation by its private status, the park has retained its pristine allure, fostering a haven for wildlife. Thanks to stringent measures such as the CITES ban on ivory trade and vigilant patrols conducted by ZAWA teams, notably the park’s elephant population, the ecosystem has flourished with remarkable stability.
The sanctuary extends beyond the park’s boundaries, enveloping the entire region in a tapestry of wilderness. Across the Zambezi River lies Zimbabwe’s renowned Mana Pools National Park, while the park itself is encircled by a vast game management area (GMA). With no physical barriers between the park and the GMA, wildlife roams freely, painting a picture of unbridled natural harmony.
What sets the Lower Zambezi Park and its surrounding GMA apart is its remoteness. With unpaved roads, ensuring encounters with other safari vehicles are rare. Amidst this tranquil setting, under the cloak of a night sky undisturbed by light pollution, one can revel in the awe-inspiring spectacle of a star-studded canopy, including breathtaking views of the Milky Way.
