Lusenga Plain National Park

Lusenga Plain National Park is a protected area in northern Zambia with rivers, grasslands, and diverse wildlife living across its landscape. The park provides habitat for predators, hippos, and many other species that inhabit the open plains and water areas.

The area received protected status as an IUCN category II zone, establishing official conservation measures for native species and natural habitats. This designation was a key moment in safeguarding the region for future generations.

Rock paintings at Kundabwika Falls show that people have lived here for a long time and created art in this region. These sites tell the story of early inhabitants and their creative traditions.

The park is easiest to visit during the dry season, when roads are more accessible and wildlife is easier to spot. Plan enough time to explore different areas and experience the variety the landscape offers.

This region receives some of Zambia's highest rainfall, creating special habitats for water-dependent species. The wet conditions regularly attract migratory birds that pass through on their journeys.
