Introducing Luapula Region
The Lake Mweru-Luapula River system is located in the Luapula Province of Zambia. The Zambian side of this transnational lake and river system in Southern Africa has a relatively high human population. Therefore, wildlife is restricted mainly to the plentiful bird life and aquatic animals in the lake and swamps, such as hippos, crocodiles and otters.
The inaccessible Lusenga Plain National Park nestles on the plateau east of the lake. The Lake Bangweulu in the south-east of Zambia's Luapula Province stretches over the lake and into the swamps. Crocodiles are plentiful in the lake which is also home to hippos.
