South Luangwa National Park
is one of Africa’s finest wildlife destinations, located in eastern Zambia along the winding Luangwa River, which forms the lifeblood of the park. Covering over 9,000 square kilometres, the park is renowned for its rich biodiversity, varied habitats, and excellent game-viewing opportunities.

The park is best known for its large populations of elephant, buffalo, hippo, and giraffe (specifically the endemic Thornicroft’s giraffe), along with abundant zebra, impala, and puku. It is also one of the best places in Africa to see leopards, which are commonly spotted on night drives. Lions are regularly seen, often in large prides, and wild dogs are present, though less predictable. Birdlife is outstanding, especially in the green season, with over 400 species recorded.

Activities in South Luangwa are diverse, with the park famously known as the birthplace of the walking safari. Today, it remains one of the best places for guided walking safaris, alongside day and night game drives, birding and photographic safaris

The lodges and camps in South Luangwa range from rustic bushcamps deep in the park—often accessible only on foot—to luxury lodges along the river with excellent facilities. Many are small and owner-run, offering personalised service and top-quality guiding. These camps are typically built to blend into their natural surroundings, providing an immersive and authentic safari experience.

With its combination of rich wildlife, iconic landscapes, and exceptional guiding, South Luangwa offers one of Africa’s most rewarding and authentic safari adventures.
