Zambia · Africa · National Park · 8.74°S, 30.38°E

Nsumbu National Park lies on the southwestern shore of Lake Tanganyika near its southern extremity, in Zambia's Northern Province, with its north and west in Nsama District, and its east and south in Mpulungu District. It is part of Zambia's Mweru Wantipa‒Tanganyika ecological region stretching 150 km from Lake Tanganyika to the hills northeast of Lake Mweru, protected by a series of national parks, game reserves and game management areas. Created as a game reserve in the 1940s as recognition of its rich wildlife, and made a National Park in 1985, Nsumbu NP has been relatively isolated, initially accessible only by boat from Mpulungu. It was considered to be, with South Luangwa and Kafue, one of the best wildlife reserves in the country, with elephants and lions being common.
