The Lochinvar National Park lies south west of Lusaka in Zambia, on the south side of the Kafue River.The habitats the national park protects are a large portion of the southern Kafue Flats floodplain, including the Chunga Lagoon, and drier woodland dominated by termite mounds.

[1] Lochinvar is also home to hot springs, echoing rocks, remains of a Neolithic settlement and an Iron Age village on Sebanzi Hill, also known for its caves, ancient baobab and wildlife.

[2][citation needed] A former ranch, the park was designated in 1972 and is known for its Kafue lechwe and birdlife, with over 400 species recorded.

[1] The antelope and birds thrive in the absence of larger predators, which have been killed off by ranchers in the area.

This drier area is home to species like the bushbuck, kudu, baboon, bushpig and vervet monkey.
