Zambia’s newest nature destination

The MCA is one of Zambia’s newest tourist destinations, and is still being developed. 

A Haven for Birds

Located in the Kafue Flats, one of the world’s premier wetland habitats, between Lochinvar and Blue Lagoon National Parks in Zambia, the area is known for wonderful birdlife, particularly water birds, with more than 470 species identified.

 If you are lucky, you could even see the Chaplins Barbet or the endangered Wattled Crane in one of the last remaining habitats where it still exists.

Support a Unique Partnership for Conservation

 The goal is to be successful in making it a partnership that fuses an international international conservation organisation, private and publicly listed sugar estates, and the local Tonga people along with their Chief, working together to create a self financing Conservation Area. This will encourage the return of indigenous flora and fauna to the area for the benefit of all the partners.

By visiting you are helping us with our mission, and you’ll be richly rewarded for the experience!

Bring your children and learn with them how this fragile wetland ecosystem works and survives, and explore this wonderful wilderness on foot or by boat. You’ll return to the city refreshed and renewed! And your visit will help assure the future protection and growth of this precious resource.

Discover the Wetland.

Local communities gain a living from fishing, and the area also provides extensive grazing for livestock farmers, mostly in the west. The Main agricultural enterprises are the sugar estates to the south of the river, which date from colonial times.

In 1960 the World Wildlife Fund bought two farm estates to create the Blue Lagoon and Lochinvar National Parks in the central area of the Flats. These are now designated as Ramsar sites, wetlands of international importance. It is a seemingly wild and relatively undisturbed landscape
