North Luangwa National Park
North Luangwa National Park, National park in Eastern Province, Zambia
North Luangwa National Park is a protected area in eastern Zambia stretching between the Luangwa River and the Muchinga Mountains. The landscape combines grasslands, woodlands, and forests that support diverse animal populations.
The area first received protection as a game reserve in 1938, later gaining national park status in 1972. This transition reflected growing efforts to safeguard Zambia's natural heritage.
Villagers from nearby settlements work as guides and rangers, sharing their connection to the land and traditional knowledge with visitors exploring the park.
The best time to see wildlife is during the dry season from June to October, when animals gather near water sources. The park is reachable by plane through Mwanya airstrip.
Black rhinoceroses were successfully brought back to the park in 2003 after their near extinction in the region. This reintroduction effort remains one of the most important conservation successes in southern Africa.
