Sioma Ngwezi

Sioma Ngwezi is 5000 square kilometre, in the south western corner of Zambia. It has been completely undeveloped and rarely visited until recently. Sioma is surrounded by a 35 000 square kilometre Game Management Area (GMA).

The Park is unfenced allowing free movement of the animals between the park and the GMA and allowing access to the Zambezi River. Sioma and the surrounding GMA form an important link in the migratory route of elephants from the bordering national parks of Botswana and Namibia.

There are no permanent facilities and very few roads in Sioma. Only a few operators take guided safaris into the park at the moment.

The park is home to over 3000 elephants, and several endangered species including roan, sable, wild dog and cheetah. Several antelope species are present, but quite shy – mostly puku, impala, roan, sable, zabra and kudu.
