Liuwa Plain National Park

Liuwa Plain National Park spans 3,369 square kilometers of grassland, supporting extensive populations of wildebeest, zebras, and numerous bird species throughout the seasons.

The area gained protected status in the 1880s under Litunga Lubosi Lewanika before becoming a national park in 1972 under Zambian government management.

The Lozi people maintain traditional connections to these lands through fishing and sustainable resource management practices established over many generations.

The park receives visitors between November and December during peak wildlife activity, with accommodations available at King Lewanika Lodge or designated camping areas.

The park hosts Africa's second-largest wildebeest migration, featuring tens of thousands of animals moving across the expansive plains during the rainy season.
