Zambia Parks
Most tourists arrive in the country at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), Zambia's main airport, located 14km/9mi from Lusaka. Domestic flights operate from here to Mfuwe International Airport (MFU), near South Luangwa’s main gate (and in the high season, there are direct flights from Johannesburg to Mfuwe).
Most people visit North Luangwa as an add-on walking safari to South Luangwa and fly between the two parks.
Self-drive visitors are allowed to enter the northern part of North Luangwa by 4x4. The park is very remote and wild, and this expedition should only be undertaken by experienced 4x4 drivers. It is advisable to come in parties of at least two vehicles. Self-drive visitors usually come through Mano Gate in the north of the park.
