Sioma Ngwezi National Park is covered mainly by Kalahari woodland. It is the third largest park in Zambia, covering a total area of 5 276km² / 3 278mi². 

Elephants are seen at the southeast border where they have re-established an old migration route, which is now visible with several tracks in a corridor extending over more than a kilometre (half a mile). 

Most wild game associated with the African bush may be encountered and numbers are slowly growing. According to wildlife scouts from the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA), Sioma Ngwezi holds a huge variety of species such as elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, eland, sable, roan, tsessebe, zebra, impala, kudu, duiker, buffalo, hippo, crocodile and sitatunga as well as a great number of birds.

Game drives, nature walks and bird watching excursions are available. Tiger fishing in the Zambezi River presents a challenge for sport anglers from all over the world. The main natural attraction in the area is the Sioma (or Ngonye) Falls. The Falls, although not nearly as spectacular as Victoria Falls, do impress visitors as they are quite extensive. In the dry season you can get up close and swim in one of the rock pools. The local people belong to the Lozi tribe who are ruled by the Barotse Royal Establishment, representing one of the richest cultures in Zambia.
