In the rainy season it floods and as it recedes, lagoons remain at the side of the main channel.

In Luambe, there are numerous lagoons, which are visited by animals and birds in the dry season and which promote biodiversity.

This is done in close cooperation with the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) and with the involvement of local communities.

Lessons learnt from the neighbouring North Luangwa National Park, through work undertaken by the Frankfurt Zoological Society, illustrated how animal populations can be boosted with appropriate management and planning.

In the last three years, the building of a lodge in Luambe National Park has already aided a good recovery and improvement in wildlife numbers.
