South Luangwa National Park

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.

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!

Lots of wild life and I felt I was in the wild the whole time I was there.

wildlife in some areas was not great for the time of year, much better nearer to the river - bush camps were superb and staff were excellent.

Managed to see lots of animals, and got to drive all over the park, but didn't see too many other tourists.

The concentration and variety of wildlife is astonishing including all the animal and birds you would ever hope to see. There are also three Luangwa Valley sub-species: Thornicroft giraffe, Crawshey's zebra and Cookson's wildebeest. We saw them all, up close and personal.

Excellent wildlife viewing, not crowded. Great access to Mozambique and Malawi.

South Luangwa is one of my favorite safari experiences. The African Sunset is breathtaking and magnificent. The wildlife in this area is just stunning.
