Wildlife & Animals
Lukusuzi National Park has very limited wildlife viewing opportunities. There might be a wild dog, and spotted hyenas might be the main predator. The common antelope species from the Luangwa Valley should be represented in the park. These include puku, waterbuck and impala. Animals will probably be scarce and skittish.
Wildlife Highlights
The park is home to a sizable population of African wild dogs, an endangered species.
