Nsumbu National Park lies on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Zambia’s far north. A known protected area, Nsumbu remains a well developed game area with pristine natural habitats including the endangered Sumbu-Itigi forests that still provide critical habitat to mega herbivores. The park forms the eastern most protected area of the much wider Nsumbu -Mweru Ecosystem which links two of the great lakes of Africa, a significant area of Lake Tanganyika waters, one of most biologically diverse habitats on earth.

Nsumbu National Park is managed by Nsumbu Tanganyika Conservation Project (NTCP) which was established under the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) in 2017 to focus on securing a core wildlife around NNP, surrounding Game Management Areas and open areas.
