Blue Lagoon National Park in Zambia, located 120 km west of Lusaka on the Kafue Flats, offers a distinctive seasonal landscape. During the dry season, expansive plains are the main feature, while the wet season transforms the area into a watery refuge, drawing in a variety of migratory birds. The floodplain is home to Kafue lechwe, zebra, sitatunga, buffalo, and numerous waterbirds, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. In conjunction with Lochinvar National Park, Blue Lagoon supports the largest populations of Kafue lechwe, often seen in impressive herds. Additionally, the park hosts large river pythons, contributing to its diverse wildlife offerings.

Blue Lagoon National Park is Zambia's undiscovered gem. It is located in Mumbwa District and occupies an area of 420 square kilometers on the northern side of the Kafue flats. It is very accessible, being only about 100 km west of Lusaka City. It is a beautiful place to be at for nature views!! I really had wonderful time there and I would not hesitate to urge everyone looking for a place to refresh and recreate their minds to visit the park.

Birdwatcher's paradise, 3 hours away from Lusaka. We were the only visitors (Park is not so frequented as there is no lodge) and camped on top of the watch tower. Huge amount of birds and lechwe, visible and very close from the tower. Going further into the park was not possible as the area is very swampy, even during dry season. Amazing sunrise and sunset. At the parc entrance there were some guards, with whom we settled the parc fee. Leave Lusaka direction West on Mumbwa road until you reach Kasula (approx 120km), then head South following the Nakeenda Lodge signs, approx 50km on a dirt road until you reach the parc entrance.
