Zambia Safari’s Newest Game Park
The Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) is to establish a new national park near Lusaka. This park will be in Shantumbu area only minutes south of Lusaka. So far work of setting up the latest game sanctuary is progressing well, Hapenga Kabeta director general of ZAWA recently announced.
The planned Lusaka National Park is on 6,000 hectares of land donated by a local chief. In Zambia about 90% of land is under the jurisdiction of chiefs. The traditional royal highnesses on whom birth bestows the leadership weld real power, that of ownership of land. …And who doesn’t know any conflict caused by land disputes?
Shantumbu has no natural rivers, so ZAWA has planned to drill boreholes to supply water to wildlife. In part ZAWA is inviting investors in hospitality business to construct lodges. This latest park will be just minutes from Lusaka so it will attract lots of people.
ZAWA will manage the wildlife and provide protection from poachers who kill animals without authority. Armed Game Guides will be on hand 24 hours 7 days a week (24/7). ZAWA is looking at the Quasi-Government / Private sector arrangements to manage the said park.
The park will also be used as a sanctuary for orphaned wildlife so that they could be helped to re-start their life on a better footing. That will enhance Zambian tourism.
