South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, the southernmost of three national parks in the
valley of the Luangwa River, is a world-renowned wildlife haven. It supports
large populations of Thornicroft's Giraffe, and herds of elephant and buffalo
often several hundred strong, while the Luangwa River supports abundant
crocodiles and hippopotamuses. It is one of the best-known national parks in
Africa for walking safaris. Founded as a game reserve in 1938, it became a
national park in 1972 and now covers 9,050 km²
