The Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ) is an NGO
that helps protect the wildlife and habitat in the Low-
er Zambezi National Park (LZNP) and throughout
its surrounding Game Management Areas (GMAs).
The organization was jointly established and reg-
istered under the Zambia Societies Act in 1995, by
conservationists, safari tour operators and stake-
holders within the LZNP and Chiawa GMA in an
effort to supplement and complement the Zambia
Wildlife Authority (ZAWA). The organization exists
to ensure that the incredible natural wilderness and
wildlife that draw people from around the world, con-
tinues to endure for generations to come.

HOW TO GET THERE
You can drive into the National Park however it is still
rather difficult to navigate. The existing lodges and
canoe tour operators provide the best access to the
park. They all offer pick-ups from Lusaka, Chirundu,
or Kariba in Zimbabwe. The Chongwe River demar-
cates the western boundary of the park and can be
accessed from Chirundu along a rough road, cross-
ing the Kafue River by pontoon just beyond Gwabi
Lodge. There is a pontoon that crosses the Zambezi
from Luangwa Town to Kanyemba in Zimbabwe and
to Zumbo in Mozambique.
