Zambia’s Liuwa Plain National Park Opens Early for 2024 Season
Liuwa Plain National Park in western Zambia opened on 1 March this year, earlier than usual, due to drier conditions from reduced summer rains. The park is now accessible for self-drive visitors and guided game drives to spot lions, cheetahs, wildebeest and prolific birdlife.
Liuwa is famed for hosting the world's second largest wildebeest migration after the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Its wetlands are typically inundated during the annual Kuomboka festival when the Lozi king relocates to higher ground.
Visitors can travel by road from Lusaka via Kafue National Park or fly by private charter to Liuwa's airstrip. A new camp opened late last year, adding to accommodation options for exploring this unique park.
