With remote luxury camps, expert guiding and a landscape that remains beautifully untouched, Liuwa Plain offers a safari experience for those who want to travel beyond the familiar.
Liuwa at a Glance
Wildlife
Liuwa Plain is best known for its spectacular annual wildebeest migration, when tens of thousands of blue wildebeest move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. Large numbers of zebra accompany them, creating one of Zambia’s most remarkable seasonal wildlife spectacles.
The plains are also home to lion, cheetah, spotted hyena and African wild dog. The park has become particularly famous for its hyena population, while the story of Lady Liuwa — the last surviving lioness in the park before the return of the species — remains one of Africa’s most remarkable conservation stories.
Birdlife is another major attraction, with large seasonal gatherings of cranes, storks, raptors and other wetland species.
Vegetation
Liuwa Plain is an immense landscape of open grasslands, seasonal wetlands and shallow floodplains. During the rains, water spreads across the plains, nourishing fresh grasses and transforming the landscape into a vibrant green wilderness.
As the dry season progresses, the water retreats and the grasses mature, creating ideal grazing for wildebeest and zebra. The open nature of the landscape offers extraordinary visibility and allows the changing seasons to dictate the movement of both wildlife and safari.
