South Luangwa National Park is one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa — and this 6-day luxury safari immerses you in its extraordinary natural abundance. The park occupies the end of the Great Rift Valley, where the meandering Luangwa River sustains a vibrant ecosystem of woodland, lagoon, and open floodplain. South Luangwa is known for three things above all others: the highest concentration of leopards in Africa, the birthplace of the walking safari, and wildlife density that rivals the Serengeti. Your journey through this remarkable park links three carefully selected camps, each offering a different perspective on the Luangwa ecosystem. The first camp sits on the main river, where hippo pods number in the hundreds and elephants cross the sandy riverbed at dawn. The second camp, deeper in the park, accesses remote areas where wild dog packs and lion prides roam. The third camp specialises in walking safaris — the activity that South Luangwa pioneered and that remains the park's signature experience. Walking in the African bush with an armed guide and expert tracker is a profound sensory experience: the crack of a twig underfoot becomes significant, the scent of elephant hangs in the air, and every rustle in the undergrowth demands attention. This is safari as it was meant to be experienced — intimate, immersive, and deeply connecting you to the wild. Luxury accommodation, gourmet cuisine, and warm Zambian hospitality complete an unforgettable South Luangwa experience.
Board your morning flight from Lusaka to Mfuwe Airport, the gateway to South Luangwa National Park. The flight takes approximately 90 minutes, crossing vast woodland and the Luangwa River's meandering course. On arrival, meet your guide and transfer to your first camp on the banks of the Luangwa River. Settle into your luxury chalet with views of the river, where hippos wallow and elephants come to drink. After lunch, enjoy your first afternoon game drive, easing into the Luangwa rhythm as the late-day light illuminates herds of puku, impala, and Thornicroft's giraffe — a subspecies found nowhere else on earth.
