Kasungu National Park, located in the Central Region of Malawi and bordering Zambia, was once a popular tourist destination.
However, 20 years down the line one can feel how outrageous poaching has turned the countryâs second largest Park, lying on 2100 square kilometres, from an exciting tourist holiday hot spot to a desolate amusement place.
Once teeming with abundant species of animals, including elephants, it is now an embodiment of a ghost forest. Animal densities have fallen low.
Lifupa Lodge, which was built in the middle of the park to accommodate tourists, looks spooky and deserted.
