Day 8-11

South Luangwa National Park

South Luangwa National Park

Transfer to the Royal Airstrip on day 8. Flight to Mfuwe, the gateway to South Luangwa National Park. Transfer to your lodge on the bank of the Luangwa River. Depending on the arrival time, you can already enjoy a night game drive in the park.
South Luangwa National Park is known for its abundance of African wildlife: Thorneycroft’s giraffe, Cookson’s Gnu, Crawshay’s zebra, leopards, lions, and big herds of buffalos and elephants.
Game drives along the Luangwa River often produce spectacular sightings. Hippo families occur in high numbers in the river, unequaled in Africa.
During the dry season (July to October), many side channels of the river dry up, leaving the fish trapped. This attracts many different species of predators, such as the African fish eagle, jackal, and hyena, to mention but a few. The colorful Carmine bee-eaters are often seen perching in front of their nests in the riverbanks.
