North Luangwa National Park

This isone of Africa's spectacular surviving wilderness areas. Remote and covering 4,636 sq. km, it offers unique experience for those seeking a true, off-the-beaten-track experience. The Park lies on the western side of the mighty LuangwaRiver, upstream of the SouthLuangwaNational Park, and separated by a narrow corridor.

North Luangwa is a primarily noted woodland park with numerous small rivers including the beautiful Mwaleshi, which runs down the escarpment in a series of waterfalls. It is particularly noted for its huge herds of buffalo, which make a great spectacle as they congregate at the river to drink, sometimes hunted by lion.

Other common mammals include elephant, impala, leopard, wildcat, hyena, wildebeest, bushbuck, kudu, zebra, baboon, warthog and monkey. There are also a number of animals, which are unlikely to be seen in the SouthPark, such as Orib, Hartebeest, Reedbuck, and eland - the largest antelope. Over 350 bird species are found here including the Crested Crowned Crane, Carmine, Bee-eater and giant Eagle Owl.
