The Essence of Africa in Zambia
This African safari holiday starts with two nights in a stylish lodge, then spends six nights in two distinct bush camps on the Luangwa River within South Luangwa National Park, before returning to the private lodge for one more night. A variety of wildlife watching activities are included in the 10-day South Luangwa safari, including guided game drives, night game drives, and walking safaris.
From landscape to animal diversity to accessibility, South Luangwa National Park is regarded as one of Africa’s best and most spectacular parks. Impalas, Pukus, and buffaloes graze the open plains; leopards, which are frequently hunted in the dense woodlands; elephant herds wade through the marshes; and hippos eat peacefully on Nile cabbage in the Luangwa River. The birdlife is likewise magnificent, with over 400 species recorded.
