River Journeys Safari: Explore Zambia's South Luangwa in the Emerald Season
Experience one of Africa’s most remarkable wilderness areas with Robin Pope Safaris on the River Journeys Safari. Covering Zambia’s premier wildlife haven, South Luangwa National Park, this journey takes you into the heart of the Luangwa Valley—a sanctuary celebrated as one of the finest in Africa.
During the dramatic Emerald Season, the Luangwa River overflows into lush lagoons and hidden channels, revealing landscapes that are otherwise inaccessible. Boating through flooded ebony groves and across the shimmering waters offers a rare and intimate view of this untouched wilderness.
The Luangwa River rises with the seasonal floods, transforming the landscape and creating new lagoons and channels that enrich the valley’s floodplain ecosystem. Staying at Nsefu Camp—the first camp ever built in Zambia—and having the river as your only access is an experience like no other.
Discover the beauty of the Luangwa Valley at its most dramatic, as nature thrives in this extraordinary time of plenty.
