Spanning 840 square kilometers in Zambia's Northern Province, Isangano National Park was officially established in 1972. Over the decades, the area faced significant challenges, including human settlement and limited funding, which led to a decline in its wildlife populations. Since 2007, concerted efforts have been underway to address these issues and restore the park's ecological integrity. Today, it remains a destination for those interested in conservation history and remote, rugged landscapes. Visitors should be aware that the park is not a traditional safari destination and is best suited for those seeking a quiet, off-the-grid experience in a developing protected area.
