What is the Other Great Migration?

While the Serengeti migration is world-famous, few travelers know about Africa’s second-largest wildebeest migration in Zambia’s Liuwa Plain. Every year, thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope traverse the vast floodplains, accompanied by lions, cheetahs, and spotted hyenas—creating a spectacular wildlife event in a setting of almost complete exclusivity.

Why Visit Liuwa Plain?

  • ✅ Remote & Untouched: A vast wilderness covering 3,369 sq. km, with fewer than 3,000 visitors annually.
  • ✅ Incredible Wildlife: Witness the great wildebeest migration alongside cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and over 300 bird species.
  • ✅ Exclusive Luxury Safari: Stay at King Lewanika Lodge, the only permanent lodge in the park.
