Kanyemba Lodge has located around 45km outside Lower Zambezi National Park; hence we offer full-day game drives for guests who stay with us for a minimum of 3 nights. We depart the lodge early morning for a boat ride (approx 1 ½ hours) downstream to the base camp of Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ), where you will transfer to our open-top game drive vehicle. The full day is spent in the National Park, exploring loops to see if we can find 4 of the big 5 (elephant, buffalo, lion, and leopard), as well as various herbivores and birds. After a picnic lunch, you will meander your way back towards CLZ to transfer back to the boat for the trip back to the lodge (2 hours) – arriving around 6 pm. Relax and then you will have dinner and bed at your convenience. Note that due to vegetation within the national park, our vehicle has no shelter from the sun, so a long-sleeved shirt is recommended especially for those with a fair complexion. Neutral-colored clothing is required. There is a minimum age of 12 years to participate in National Park trips.
