Lukusuzi National Park, National park in eastern Luangwa Valley, Zambia.
Lukusuzi National Park is a protected reserve in the eastern Luangwa Valley, situated between Luambe and the Chipata-Lundazi road. The terrain combines mopane woodlands with open grasslands that form the habitat for diverse wildlife.
The reserve was established in 1972 to protect the natural resources and wildlife populations of the eastern Luangwa Valley. This creation was part of a broader effort to safeguard regional ecosystems.
The park forms part of traditional lands where local communities maintain connections to nature through conservation practices and environmental stewardship.
Flooding during rainy seasons can make access difficult, so visitors should plan trips during dry months. Local guides can help select the best time and routes for exploring the area.
The area holds a notable population of African wild dogs. This population connects with Kasungu National Park in Malawi, forming a transboundary conservation zone.
