					Lochinvar National Park Lochinvar National Park, is best known as park of exquisite beauty with an abundance of bird life. With over 400 species in its 428 square kilometers the draw of this destination is birds, rather than large mammals. A wide floodplain of the Kafue River nestled between Itezhi Tezhi dam in the west and Kafue Gorge in the east makes up a major portion of the park and includes the shallow Chunga Lagoon - a hot spot for water birds.
