Time + Tide Liuwa Plain National Park
A land unchanged by time, Liuwa Plain’s vast savannah has been protected for over 100 years, yet it’s one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Gliding in a helicopter above its golden grasslands and shimmering lagoons you’ll touch down at the only permanent camp in the park.
Watch a flock of cranes swirl over a sea of wildflowers in the clear morning sun. Listen to the distant rumble of an afternoon thunderstorm gathering on the curved horizon. Take a deep breath and catch the scent of the long grass as a soft breeze whispers through it. Feel humbled amid the second-largest migration of wildebeest, thousands of zebra and oribi, hyena in clans of 50 or more, or a speeding cheetah teaching its cubs how to hunt.
Its 3,660 km2 of broad savannah are home to the second biggest wildebeest migration on the continent, a flourishing cheetah population, the famed Lady Liuwa lion pride, Africa’s densest concentration of endangered wattled cranes and other rare game. Yet it remains one of Africa’s greatest secrets. After running safaris from a more basic camp for a few years, Time + Tide King Lewanika opened in 2017.
Why we love Liuawa National Park:
Second largest Wildebeest
MIGRATION ON EARTH
ach year when seasonal floods transform the flat grasslands into a wetland paradise, the area becomes home to the second largest wildebeest migration in Africa.
Exclusivity
The only permanent camp in Liuwa Plain National Park, its six open-front villas (including a two-bedroom, two-bathroom family villa) are the essence of pure and simple luxury.
Photographer’s Dream
A perfect canvas for wonderful images: Annual floodwaters, sprawling wildflower blooms, and dramatic thunderstorms - the ideal backdrop for capturing the beautiful wildlife.
