Nsumbu-Nationalpark

The Nsumbu National Park in Zambia covers 2,000 km ² and is situated with a shore area of 100 kilometers south-west on Lake Tanganyika. The area offers wide sandy beaches, high granite cliffs, quiet coves and dark valleys, of which the river Lufubu has dug 300 feet deep, which forms the eastern boundary of the park and flows into the lake. The vegetation consists mainly of Combretum thickets, wild fig and acacia trees. West of Nsumbu the Game Management Areas are Tondwa ( 54,000 ha) and Kaputa ( 360,000 ha).

Biodiversity is taken far and the holdings of counterparties located in Nsumbu National Park animals recover, among which are sable antelope, wildebeest, eland, impala, bushbuck, waterbuck, reed bucks, zebras, buffalo, elephants, lions, leopards, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, crocodiles and hippos. In addition a number of large birds such as the flamingo and sea eagles.

Nsumbu is almost unattainable: 1363 km Lusaka are not only a huge range, but in the end, difficult to navigate. Already arrival and departure each claim a few days. A flight is possible from Lusaka or Ndola to Kasaba Bay / Nkamba Bay Airport by chartered Cessna, but there has to be picked up, as if you start with a boat from Mpulungu, which must be achieved first of all - what of the MS Liemba Tanzania Railways is best possible yet, but also on the asphalt road over Kasama and Mbala.
