Tell an old Africa hand you are going to Liuwa Plain National Park and they'll be impressed. Many seasoned Africa travellers have heard of this vast area of open grasslands in the far west of Zambia but few - very very few - have been there. This enormous open plain lies west of the Zambezi River on the Angolan Border and is extremely hard to get to, being cut off except by boat for four months of the year (January to April). Even when you can drive there it is a full-on expedition with miles and miles of rutted sand roads and no road signs. So far, so inaccessible, but the flipside is that the
region's remoteness makes this a truly secret African destination, with just 400 visitors a year. No, that's not a typo, and nor is the fact that Liuwa Plain is home to the second largest wildebeest migration (upwards of 65,000 on the move) in the world, plus superb birding opportunities and blossoming cheetah and wild dog populations. Sold? You should be, because Liuwa Plain holidays are a vanishingly rare opportunity to experience an immense wilderness area brimming with birds and home to huge numbers of animals, but with not another human in sight. For once, that's not hyperbole.
