North Luangwa National Park

Northern Province, Zambia

---

North Luangwa National Park is one of Zambia’s most remote and unspoiled wilderness areas, located in the northern part of the Luangwa Valley.

Covering about 4,636 square kilometers, the park is known for its rugged landscapes, riverine forests, woodlands, floodplains, and the scenic Mwaleshi River, offering a true off-the-beaten-path safari experience. The park is home to elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, and a successfully reintroduced population of black rhinos.

It also supports more than 400 bird species and several wildlife species unique to the Luangwa Valley, making it an important conservation area. North Luangwa National Park is especially famous for its guided walking safaris, which allow visitors to explore the bush on foot and experience nature in a more intimate way. With very few visitors and limited development, it offers one of the most authentic and exclusive wildlife experiences in Africa.
