North Luangwa National Park

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The North Luangwa National Park (Engl. North Luangwa National Park ) is a 4636 km² area in the valley of the river Luangwa in the province Muchinga in Zambia . This national park does not have the enormous diversity and density of animals as the South Luangwa National Park and not the scenic beauty of the small Luambe National Park on the other side of the Luangwa, but it is wilder, less developed than this and best to go with a local safari operator . The park is only open from June to October. Driving in the park is impossible in the rainy season . There are three rudimentary camps, which at the moment only offer space for a few people, as the tourist development is only under construction.

The terrain alternates between mopane forest, alluvial forest on the river, open grassland , wide floodplains and acacia dense . To the east are the Muchinga Mountains , from which numerous streams flow.
