South Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s premier wildlife destination. The park is located between the Luangwa River to the east and the Mchinga escarpment in the west. South Luangwa National Park is stunningly rich in wildlife. It’s home to over 60 species of mammals and almost 450 bird species. The dramatic and fascinating topography of the landscape is beautiful. The Luangwa River meanders down the valley. With the seasonal rise in water levels the formation of Ox Bow lakes form resulting in small islands. The fertile soil associated with the lagoon systems allow for nutrients, resulting in many animals found close to the river.

The South Luangwa is the home of walking safari. The high quality of guiding and the density of wildlife result in one of the best safari experiences. Night drives are another popular activity offered by all camps. Guests have the opportunity to see nocturnal species. The early evening hours are also one of the best times for watching predators hunting. The Valley provides an excellent habitat for leopards leading to higher than usual concentrations, although they are very often seen on night drives, it is not at all uncommon to see them during the day as well.
