Luangwa National Park is park located in north-eastern Zambia. It is divided into two separate parks, one north and one south. Formerly a game reserve, it was established as a national park in 1972.
Vegetation in the park consists of growth characteristic of miombo (woodland), savanna, thickets, and floodplain grassland bordered by riparian forest. The meandering river has changed course many times, leaving dry beds and oxbow pools rich in vegetation nestled between high ranges of mountains.
The park’s abundant and varied animal life includes vervet monkeys, baboons, leopards, lions, elephants, zebras, black rhinoceroses, hippopotamus, kudu, eland, buffaloes, puku, Cookson’s wildebeest, wild dogs, hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, and sable and roan antelopes. Birdlife is abundant and includes storks, geese, cranes, and carmine bee-eaters. The Luangwa River provides a habitat for the Nile crocodile.
