Liuwa Plains National Park

Liuwa Plains National Park

There are few roads in Liuwa Plain National Park. That, however, is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-coloured plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, islands of raffia palms or a small tree-belt interrupting the scenery.
Thousands of wildebeest (estimated at close to 50,000), with zebra, tsessebe and buffalo, group together, joining the more static resident roan antelope, red lechwe and reedbuck. The open plains are particularly good for oribi antelope. With all these come the predators: hyena, wild dog and lion can be spotted. Beginning of November, thousands of wildebeest will gather in the plains.
Camping in the bush (running water, showers and flush toilets are present). (3x FB).

Main Destination:
Liuwa Plain National Park
Best Time To Visit November (Animals gather on the plain)
High Season Never (The park is rarely visited)
