Lochinvar National Park in Zambia spans 428 km² and is celebrated for its rich birdlife, hosting over 420 species, and the distinctive Kafue lechwe antelope. Situated on the southern Kafue Flats, the park offers diverse landscapes, including ever-changing floodplains, woodlands, and the Chunga Lagoon, which fluctuates in size with river levels. The park is home to over 30,000 Kafue lechwe antelopes that migrate seasonally according to flood conditions. The Termitaria zone, marked by termite mounds and unique vegetation, supports buffalo, zebra, and magpie shrike. The woodlands, featuring Acacia albida and combretum trees, provide habitat for bushbuck, kudu, baboon, and vervet monkeys. Visitors can also explore the Gwisho Hot Springs, with mineral-rich waters ranging from 60°C to 90°C, and archaeological sites like Sebanzi Hill, which contains remnants of Iron Age villages. Cultural landmarks such as the Baobab Tree and Drum Rocks offer a glimpse into local traditions and stories.

The park is beautiful. It has different species of birds, antelopes, buffalos, zebras and many more. If you haven't been there please you're missing Alot.

Lochinvar still remains one of the best if not the best birding destinations. Thousands of Spur-winged geese 🪿, Cattle egrets, African skimmers, Ruffs, Red-knobbed coots will leave you in awe🫢, great numbers of Wattled cranes and Grey Crowned Cranes as they dance will make your visit memorable. Good numbers of Southern Pochards also occur. One of a few places you will find great numbers of Leopard tortoise weighing over 5kgs🐢, off course a rare sighting of a white Spur-winged goose.

The park was a great experience inspite not seeing as many animals as expected. The park has some hot springs and good spots for camping. However, distances to the water bodies with water we’re animals are is quite far.

Reduced number of wild life animals within the park, but the hot springs and developing geothermal energy benefits within the region have great potential.
