The South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa’s prime wildlife sanctuaries, with a great diversity of game and birdlife that has made it world famous. The wide Luangwa River meanders through the valley and is the lifeblood of the area, drawing hundreds of animals to its banks, making for an incredible Luangwa safari experience.

South Luangwa National Park is one of the best parks in Africa for night game-drives. More than 60 mammal species and over 400 bird species are found in this Park, which is also renowned for thousands of hippo and crocodiles. Luangwa is the birthplace of the Walking Safari and there is no better way to explore this wilderness.

Featuring leafy woodlands, slow-moving river channels and lily-bedecked lagoons, South Luangwa is renowned for the expertise of its guides. It is also excellent for spotting leopards and is home to about 15 000 elephants and the same number of hippo. Thornicroft’s giraffe and Cookson’s wildebeest are unique to the region.
