Lavushi Manda National Park

The park extends across 1,500 square kilometers of mountains, miombo woodlands, and seasonal wet grasslands, bordered by the Muchinga escarpment and Bangweulu flats.

Established as a Game Reserve in 1941, the area received National Park status in 1972, marking a significant step in Zambian conservation efforts.

The park borders several traditional chiefdoms, including Chiundaponde and Luchembe, representing the regional heritage of Muchinga Province communities.

Visitors can obtain fishing permits valid from April to December, with regulations prohibiting bait fishing and barbed hooks to protect aquatic species.

The Lavushi Mountains reach 1,811 meters, containing quartzite formations that create distinct geological features within the national park boundaries.
