Kasungu National Park, National park in Central Region, Malawi.

Kasungu National Park is a protected area in the Central Region with Miombo woodlands, grassy river channels, and rivers such as the Dwangwa and Lingadzi. The landscape spans approximately 2,316 square kilometers and provides varied habitats for wildlife.

The area became a forest reserve in 1922 to control tsetse flies, was declared a game reserve in 1930, and became a national park in 1970. A buffer zone with an 8 km solar-powered electric fence was added along the southeastern boundary in 1977. In 2004 Malawi and Zambia agreed to form a cross-border protected area, formally implemented in 2015 with Lukusuzi National Park.

The park takes its name from the nearby town of Kasungu. Visitors can seek out rock paintings in the Solonje Hills and the remains of iron-smelting furnaces in the north of the park, traces of centuries of settlement in the area.

The park is usually closed in March during the wet season. About 120 km of game-viewing tracks start near the Lifupa Lodge, which manages tourism and offers guided walks and vehicle safaris. A small airstrip lies near the administration, and day fishing licences are issued for the Lifupa Dam.

In 2022, more than 260 elephants and hundreds of other animals were brought to the park in a major relocation effort to restore natural populations. This was one of the largest wildlife recovery programs in the region.
