Historia

hariri

Kabla ya mbuga ya taifa kuanzishwa, eneo hilo lilitumika kama uwanja wa uwindaji wa Lubosi Lewanika (1842-1916), ambaye alikuwa Litunga (mfalme au chifu mkuu ) wa watu wa Lozi huko Barotseland kati ya 1878 na 1916. Lubosi Lewanika aliteua Liuwa Plain kama eneo lililohifadhiwa mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 1880. [3]
