Lochinvar National Park

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.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.

The park's northern boundary is marked by the Kafue River. In the south there are wooded hills. The park's total area is 428 square kilometres.The park is very similar to Blue Lagoon National Park on the other side of the Kafue on the northern flats.A former ranch, the park was designated in 1972 and is known for its Kafue lechwe and birdlife, with over 400 species recorded.
