north LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK
North Luangwa National Park is
remote and inaccessible, with little infrastructure
in the whole 4636km² reserve. There are only
three operators being allowed by park authorities
to have camps here. The is the area chosen to
reintroduce the Black Rhino into Zambia with the
help of the Frankfurt Zoological Society. This
is perhaps suitable for the more experienced Safari
Traveller and the scenery is very similar to South
Luangwa - just wilder !
The park lies on the western
side of the Luangwa river, upstream from the South
Luangwa National Park. It is particularly noted
for its huge herds of Buffalo. Other common animals
include, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Hyena, Wildcat,
Wildebeest & Zebra. There are also a number
of species which are unlikely to be seen in the
South Park such as Oribi, Hartebeest, Reedbuck
& Eland - the largest of the antelopes.
