The Liparamba Game Reserve (Hifadhi ya Akiba ya Liparamba, In Swahili) is a protected area located in Mbinga District, Songea & Nyasa District Districts of Ruvuma Region of Tanzania that covers an area of 571 km2 (220 sq mi). The Liparamba Game Reserve was established by Government Notice Number 289 of the year 2000. Following designation, Mbinga District Council managed it until 2006, when Director of Wildlife at Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA) took over its management.[1] [2]
Etymology
The Klipspringer antelope is referred to in the Matengo language as Liparamba.[3]
Attractions
Elephant herds traveling from the Selous Game Reserve in Northern Ruvuma Region to the Niassa Reserve in Mozambique use the large Ruvuma River as a route through the Liparamba Game Reserve.[4] The main attraction of the region is seeing the large elephant herds, and the Ruvuma riverbanks offer prime viewing of this wildlife display.[5] The Ruvuma River is encircled by primarily swampy landscapes, riparian forests, and Miombo woodlands, which serve as an ideal natural home for hippo, basks of crocodiles, zebra, lions, leopards, wild cats, colobus monkeys and African otters.[6][7]
