Discover Kazungula

Kazungula offers a cross-border point of reference and also raises the question of its regional setting. When choosing a holiday rental, it makes sense to consider the town and the broader natural and cultural areas of the Southern Province as different planning levels. This lets you tailor your search to the themes that genuinely interest you.

A nearby point of reference

The Kazungula Bridge is located near the destination. It connects Kasane in Botswana with Kazungula in Zambia. The bridge opened in May 2021. It is therefore a concrete point of reference for the town’s cross-border context.

Natural and cultural heritage in the Southern Province

Livingstone is located in the Southern Province and is described as Zambia’s tourism capital. The city is home to the transboundary UNESCO World Heritage Site Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls, which is shared with Zimbabwe. The World Heritage Site covers 3,779 hectares of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia. The Southern Province also has a network of rivers and lakes, including the Zambezi, the Kafue, and Lake Kariba.

Lochinvar: landscape, birdlife, and history

Lochinvar National Park is located in the Southern Province. Its landscape includes floodplains, woodland, and termite mounds. The Gwisho Hot Springs lie along a geological fault. The park also offers birdwatching opportunities; more than 420 bird species have been recorded there.

Sebanzi Hill adds an archaeological point of reference: the site was the location of an Iron Age village that was inhabited until the last century. In this way, landscape, nature observation, and settlement history sit alongside one another as distinct themes in Lochinvar National Park. If you are interested in a region’s history, this perspective adds a separate dimension to its natural features.

Kafue: trips on the water

Kafue National Park is partly located in the Southern Province. Most riverside camps and lodges in the park offer boat trips year-round; at the same time, water levels vary considerably over the course of the year. Canoe trips are also available, particularly at Kaingu. The specific offerings may vary by operator.

Boat trips and canoe trips are two different ways to experience the Kafue in relation to its rivers. When planning your trip, you can therefore take into account both your preferred activity and the seasonally changing water levels. Together with the landscape and cultural themes of Livingstone and Lochinvar, this gives you a broader perspective on the Southern Province, without making these destinations features of Kazungula.

Choose accommodation based on your destinations

If you are looking for a holiday rental in Kazungula, first consider whether the town’s cross-border point of reference or the themes of the Southern Province are more important to you. Compare the location of a specific listing with the places you actually plan to visit.
