National Park Attractions In Zambia

  • 3. Lower Zambezi National Park Lusaka
    The Lower Zambezi National Park lies on the north bank of the Zambezi River in southeastern Zambia.

This has resulted in the park being protected from the ravages of mass tourism and remains one of the few pristine wilderness areas left in Africa.

    Liuwa Plain National Park is an approximately 1,390-square-mile national park in Zambia's Western Province. Liuwa means plain in the local Lozi language, and the plains originally served as a hunting ground for Lubosi Lewanika, the Litunga of the Lozi people. The area was designated as a protected area by Lubosi Lewanika in the early 1880s, and as a national park in 1972, when Zambia's government took over management. The nonprofit conservation organization African Parks has managed Liuwa in partnership with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and the Barotse Royal Establishment since 2003.
