The Luangwa Valley is one of Africa’s prime wildlife sanctuaries, with concentrations and varieties of game and birdlife that have made it world famous.
The ‘Valley’ lies at the tail end of the Great Rift
Valley, that continental fault
which runs from the Red Sea down the length of East Africa. This accounts for
the spectacular escarpment scenery in East Africa as well as the African Lakes.
As the Rift reaches Zambia, it divides; one arm to the east encompasses Lake Malawi and the western arm becomes the Luangwa Valley, which stretches some seven hundred kilometres at an average width of about one hundred kilometres.
Mulungushi river flows into the Lunsemfwa river which flows into the Luano
