Spanning over 9,000 square kilometers, the park is home to a thriving population of the Big Five—lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros—along with an extensive range of other wildlife, including giraffe, zebra, hippo, and over 400 bird species.

The park’s varied ecosystem includes lush riverbanks, savannas, and dry woodlands, making it a haven for both wildlife and visitors alike. The Luangwa River, which runs through the park, attracts a variety of animals throughout the year and offers fantastic game-viewing opportunities, especially during the dry season when animals congregate around the waterholes.
