Luenge National Park, National park in southeastern Angola
Luenge National Park is a large protected area in southeastern Angola with open woodlands, seasonal grasslands, and diverse tree species. It stretches along the Kavango River and forms an important natural landscape with a rich ecosystem.
The protected area was created in 2011 by consolidating several former hunting reserves. This establishment was part of efforts to preserve important natural landscapes in the region.
Local communities near the park work in conservation programs and share their traditional ways of living with visitors. Their involvement shapes daily life and practices around the protected area.
Visitors need special permits and knowledgeable guides to explore the area safely. Some zones require extra caution due to historical consequences of past conflicts in the region.
The area is part of a transnational conservation project spanning five African nations. This international collaboration connects protected territories across one of the continent's largest connected wilderness regions.
