South Luangwa National Park

Very good game viewing, travel destination and amenities. There may be more scenic areas in Southern Africa, but South Luangwa is huge so everything is there - may just take a little more effort on the part of your guide to find everything.

Was the amazing place I've seen in my life!!!

The South Luangwa National Park is a place that you can see few animals... an exuberant fauna and an excellent infrastructure.

At that time the park was more exciting and less touristic than other parks in south and east Africa

The wildlife was abundant but it was the variety of tours that made the South Luangwa days outstanding. We went on ordinary day safaris, night safaris and hiking safaris. The old Landcruiser without doors and roof was an extra thrill booster. The guide Jason knew where to find the animals and also managed to avoid too close encounters while walking. Extremely exciting experience. Highly recomended!

One of the most unique experience.

The wildlife was magnificant. We've seen all of the big animals, except for the Rhino (obviously:( ). Lodging was also fantastic and a hippo joined us at the breakfast once, until he was spooked away by one of the guards.
The guide was alright, knew the wildlife just fine, but his driving skills were quite bad. We got stuck in the pile of sand, and he literally had no knowledge how to use the winch... The jeep was also very old and got broken down quite a few times.

The South Luangwa River attracts heaps of animals, and one can camp just outside the park, on the banks of the river. It is my ideal safari experience, to be immersed IN the wilderness. No need to drive all day. Just live in the outdoors and be an organic member of it all.

The national park in Zambia with the best infrastructure and the highest densities of animals and a very diverse landscape. All this offers a premier safari experience competing with the best areas in the whole of Africa.

Walking safaris! South Luangwa is the birthplace of walking safaris in Big 5 country, and still one of the most magical places to do it in. Some of the best game guides in the business share their knowledge here, showing you the big and small wonders of the African bush. The night drives in southern Luangwa are also legendary, with regular sightings of leopards, civets and gennets. This is one of the wildest and most beautiful Parks I have had the pleasure of spending time in.

Have been there 05+06. + Nice park+wildlife,Accomodation. - rather busy park

Wildlife,Accomodation and transportation very good. Unfortunately the park is rather busy with quite a lot of visitors that is why you don't really feel like in the wilderness. But it is not yet mass tourism.

A beautifull night and day safari

On the way to malawi we made a detour to see this beautifull park.

We drove from Chipata to the park and it was a beautifull drive.

We stopped at a camp site with an amazing view on the river and with a lot of hippos nearby. At night we had our first night safari and we managed to see practically all the night active wildlife of the park...wonderfull. The day after we had a day safari and again we managed to see lions, Hippos, elephants and many other animals.
I really recomend a visit in this park!

This cannot really explain, it just took my breath away. HUGE heards of Zebra, HUGE heards of elephants, and some scary and excting close encounters with roaring lions!
