Luambe National Park- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Luambe National Park, spanning 254 square kilometers, is one of Zambia's smallest yet significant conservation areas. Established in 1938, it is located on the eastern bank of the Luangwa River within the Luangwa Valley, surrounded by Lukusuzi, North Luangwa, and South Luangwa National Parks. This positioning places Luambe within a rich ecological corridor. The park's wildlife includes an impressive array of large herbivores and carnivores, with growing populations of elephants, lions, and leopards indicating a thriving ecosystem. Visitors can enjoy a sense of tranquility and exclusivity, as the animal densities are lower compared to neighboring parks. The park's diverse habitats, ranging from riverine forests and mopane woodlands to acacia thickets and open grasslands of the Chipuka Plains, support over 200 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
