Lukusuzi National Park

Lukusuzi National Park covers 2,720 square kilometers between Luambe National Park and the Chipata-Lundazi road, featuring mopane woodlands and open grasslands.

The establishment of this national park in 1972 marked an essential step in protecting the eastern Luangwa Valley's natural resources and wildlife populations.

The park forms part of traditional lands where local communities maintain connections to nature through conservation practices and environmental stewardship.

Access becomes limited during rainy seasons due to flooding, requiring visitors to schedule trips during dry months for optimal exploration conditions.

The protected area maintains a substantial population of African wild dogs, connecting with Kasungu National Park in Malawi to form a transboundary conservation zone.
