Nkwali Camp Attractions

Access into the park is by pontoon, boat or over the bridge. The Luangwa Valley was formed by the massive forces that created the East African Rift Valley. The game is always in the vicinity of the camp. With three distinct habitats, the river, the adjoining lagoons and the plains there is a wide diversity of game. Amongst the species, waterbuck, zebra, warthog and greater kudu are common place. The wandering herds of elephant are amongst some of the largest left in Africa. Buffalo continuously move in search of fresh pastures and water. In their wake come the predators, the lion and hyena. Leopard hunt the smaller game under cover of darkness.
