Lusenga Plain National Park Park

Lusenga Plain National Park is a protected area in Luapula Province in northern Zambia that conserves plains, wetlands and headwater streams. The park protects important seasonal wetlands and associated wildlife habitats in a relatively remote part of the province.

Visitors come for remote wildlife viewing, birdwatching and to experience riverine and wetland landscapes rather than developed tourist facilities. Access is limited and typically involves travel by road from regional towns.

The area was designated to protect the plain and its hydrological importance for local river systems and to conserve regional biodiversity. Management focuses on maintaining habitat connectivity and protecting wetland-dependent species.

The park lies in Luapula Province in northern Zambia and is reached by regional roads from nearby towns in the province.
