Discover South Luangwa National Park

Renowned as one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, South Luangwa is home to an abundance of game, which frequents the Luangwa River and its oxbow lagoons.

The Luangwa River is the most intact river system in Africa and is the lifeblood of the park’s 9 050 square kilometres (3 500 square miles).

South Luangwa is also the birthplace of the walking safari – one of the best ways to get up-close-and-personal with the park’s pristine wilderness, which boasts 60 animal species and over 400 bird species. While out on the plains, visitors can view large herds of elephant, some up to 70 strong, and encounter the mighty buffalo.

 

The essence of a walking safari

The South Luangwa is known as the birthplace of walking safari and there are few better places to try this exhilarating adventure. With large areas that are completely inaccessible by road, you are virtually guaranteed not to see anything but wildlife when exploring the park on foot. Engage all your senses as you see, smell, touch and hear the African bush. Whether quietly detouring around an elephant or investigating a termite hill, you will get an up close and intimate glimpse of all the inhabitants of the bush, from largest to smallest.
