Nsumbu National Park, Nature reserve at Lake Tanganyika, Zambia
The national park extends over 2,200 square kilometers along Lake Tanganyika's shoreline, featuring wetlands, forests, grasslands, and four distinct bays.
The region evolved from a game reserve in the 1970s into a national park in 1985, marking a shift toward structured wildlife protection.
The local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of natural resource management, contributing to conservation initiatives and park operations.
Visitors reach the park via Kasama through a 170-kilometer paved road to Mporokoso, followed by a 170-kilometer gravel stretch.
Lake Tanganyika's waters within the park contain multiple fish species, including Nile perch, goliath tigerfish, and lake salmon.
