Luambe National Park

The park spans 300 square kilometers of woodland savanna and grassland alongside the Luangwa River, creating diverse natural landscapes at 583 meters elevation.

Founded in 1992, the park faced severe wildlife decline due to poaching until 1999, when conservation initiatives began restoring animal populations through structured management.

Local communities participate in park management through partnerships with the Zambia Wildlife Authority, contributing to regional conservation and development programs.

Visitors can access the park from June to October, staying at Luambe Camp which offers three safari tents and one family tent with river views.

The park contains numerous lagoons formed by the seasonal flooding of the Luangwa River, creating specialized ecosystems for wildlife throughout the year.
