Zambia Map
Liuwa Plain National Park is located 750km/466mi from the capital, Lusaka.
Self-drive to the park is usually only possible from June to mid-December (check the condition on the ground before heading out). Even then, you’ll need a strong 4x4 with high clearance to navigate the sandy tracks. You will need to cross the Zambezi River by pontoon.
International visitors arriving in Zambia usually fly into Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), located 14km/9mi from Lusaka. If you are also visiting Victoria Falls, you could fly into Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI).

Domestic Flights
Visitors staying at Time + Tide King Lewanika, the only luxury lodge in the park, usually fly in. The easiest option is a charter flight to the airstrip near the lodge. Alternatively, you can fly to Kalabo outside the park and the lodge will transfer you from there by road (2 hours) or by fixed-wing aircraft (15 minutes).
Proflight offers domestic, scheduled flights to Kalabo Airport (KLB) in Kalabo, the gateway and closest airport to Liuwa Plain National Park.
