Lochinvar National Park

Lochinvar is a wonderful wetland park which we would highly recommend visiting if you want to experience something quite different in Zambia. Located midway between Lusaka and Livingstone, Lochinvar finally has some excellent accommodation in the form of Lechwe Plains Tented Camp.

The park is home to a huge population of Kafue Lechwe, some 30,000 plus, and is also one of the few places that you will find Chaplin's Barbet - Zambia's only endemic bird. Year round, Lochinvar is a birdwatcher's paradise with over 400 species recorded. In addition, the park contains approximately 2,000 Blue Wildebeest, 700 Burchell's Zebra, Greater Kudu, Bushbuck, Oribi, Hippo's, Side-striped Jackal, Reedbuck and Common Waterbuck. The endless wetland vistas are quite breathtaking and safaris from the lodge are enjoyed by 4-wheel drive, on foot and at certain time of year by boat.
