Zambia Map
Arrival in Zambia by air is usually through Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), located 14km/9mi from the capital, Lusaka.
Nsumbu National Park is in the far north of the country, about 1,200km/745mi from Lusaka, and is very remote.
Currently, the main accommodation for visitors is Ndole Bay Lodge, just outside the park. The easiest way to get there is by chartered plane to the airstrip in Nsumbu National Park. The lodge will organize a transfer from there by boat.
You can also drive yourself to Mpulungu (on the shores of Lake Tanganyika) and book a lake transfer to the lodge.
A more adventurous option is to take the government-operated ferry between Mpulungu and the small township of Nsumbu, where the lodge is located. Ndole Bay Lodge offers free pickups and drop-offs to the harbor in Nsumbu for guests staying at the lodge.
There are no scheduled flights to Nsumbu.
