Imagine a place that could give you a sense of the Africa of old, of a bygone era. Yet, at the very same time not compromise on the wildlife viewing experiences. Be privy to some of the most epic dry-season game viewing in Africa. Welcome to South Luangwa.
Follow predators on the hunt well into the night, watch elephants cross back & forth through the lazy Luangwa River and find yourself amongst the densest leopard population in Africa. This is a safari experience that promises jaw-dropping moments from start to finish.
South Luangwa is synonymous with incredible wildlife, beautiful meandering rivers and breathtaking scenery. Many ox-bow lakes remind us of where the river once flowed. Now they fill up annually & provide water for the park’s animals throughout the year.
The various habitats and year-round water availability creates an environment suited to a vast abundance of animal species. Leopard, lion, hyena and African wild dog all occur in large numbers. South Luangwa also boasts the densest leopard & hippo populations in Africa. The open plains teem with general game such a zebra, giraffe, puku, impala, kudu and more. Elephants are hardly ever out of sight and the rivers are filled with hippo and crocodile. This safari will provide visitors of all kinds with the experience of a lifetime. It’s sure to transport you back to the way Africa was many years ago, a safari that’s not only exhilarating, but also pure & raw.
