Lavushi Manda National Park is a national park in the Muchinga Province of Zambia[1] with an area of 1,500 sq km.[2] It is the 11th largest of the 20 National Parks in Zambia.[3] The park was initially gazetted as a Game Reserve in 1941,[citation needed] and was declared a National Park in 1972.[3] It is located in a district of the same name (Lavushimanda), with the South Luangwa National Park in the neighbouring Mpika District.[3] It is adjacent to Bangweulu Game Management Area to the northwest, Kafinda Game Management Area lies further west. The chiefdom of Chiundaponde (Bisa people) is in the northwest, north lies Luchembe, northwest Chikwanda, east Mpumba (Bisa people), and south lies Muchinka chiefdom.[4] It covers a small range of mountains and hills, and is principally covered in miombo woodlands, with a number of rivers and streams, and a few areas of grassland, both on drier land or in the form of seasonally wet dambos. There are few large mammals, due to poaching in the previous century, but fishing and hiking are possible. Certain antelope species retreat upland to the park from the Bangweulu swamps to the northwest during the rainy season.
