Luambe National Park
Located in
Zambia :: Luangwa Basin
Category:
Protected Areas :: Protected Area
If you are en route between South and North Luangwa National Park, the small Luambe National Park is well worth a visit. It receives few visitors and remains a secluded, unspoiled wilderness far away from the main tourist routes. It has a diverse habitat, ranging from riverine forest, mopane woodland, to acacia thickets and grassland plains. With the conservation efforts of the Luambe Conservation Ltd, elephant and lion numbers are on the increase, and hyena and wild dog are regularly seen. There are more than 200 bird species in Luambe, including African Skimmer, Pel’s Fishing Owl and Angola Pitta. In September and October large colonies of southern carmine bee-eaters nest in the banks of the Luangwa River, making for spectacular colour displays. Accommodation inside the park is only in a tented camp, at Luambe Lodge, but the park is easily explored from Kalovia Campsite.

NOTE:
Luambe can be accessed by 2X4WD vehicles only during the dry season. In the wetter months (from November until April) large areas of the park are inaccessible due to the region’s characteristic powdery black-cotton soil which turns the roads into an impassable quagmire – impossible even for the best 4WD.
