Sioma Ngwezi

Sioma Ngwezi is Zambia's third-largest national park, with 5,000km2 of Kalahari woodland. Sioma Ngwezi is nestled away in the southwestern corner of Zambia, bordered to the west by the Kwando River (which also forms Zambia's boundary with Angola) and to the south by Namibia. With its diverse wildlife attracting avid adventure travelers and wildlife enthusiasts, it has become one of Zambia's top up-and-coming regions to visit, especially when combined with the impressive Ngonye Falls National Park further north.

Sioma Ngwezi National Area has a reputation of great giraffe sightings, and tourists may expect to encounter a variety of wildlife species when visiting the park, including lion, leopard, and spotted hyena. Given the scarcity of water in this part of Zambia, the greatest time to see wildlife is right after the summer rains, when animals cluster in large numbers around the drying ponds.

While Zambia's 25-meter-high Ngonye Falls may not be as impressive as the world-famous Victoria Falls, it more than makes up for it in volume. Visitors can enjoy a variety of thrilling adventure activities, such as kayaking, white water rafting, swimming, and fishing, in addition to admiring its beauty.
