Second largest wildebeest migration in Africa
Zambia
Liuwa Plain is a grassland park in western Zambia, managed with African Parks and the Lozi people's traditional authority, that holds the second-largest wildebeest migration in Africa: tens of thousands of animals moving across the plains as the rains arrive from about November. It is famous for its lions, rebuilt from a single lioness, Lady Liuwa, and for its wild dog and hyena clans, and for skies that fill with storks and cranes in the wet season. It is reached by charter flight or a serious 4x4 expedition via Mongu, with a single lodge and community campsites, and the season runs from about May to December. It is a malaria area.

Why book here
Wild places survive when the communities around them earn more from protecting wildlife than from anything that would replace it. Every stay you book through Spekboom carries a conservation contribution built into the price, never added on top, so choosing where you sleep becomes a way to fund the people and projects keeping this landscape intact.
