Summary

The South Luangwa is Zambia’s finest national park and is widely considered to be one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in all of Africa. The sweeping turns of the beautiful Luangwa River and its complex, ever-changing pans and oxbow lagoons, provide the backdrop for, amongst others, Lion, Leopard, African Elephant, Thornicroft’s Giraffe, Puku and dazzling flocks of Southern Carmine Bee-eaters which descend on the valley en masse to breed. The special feature of this holiday is the inclusion of a 5-night walking safari where nights are spent under canvas in three simple, but comfortable, private campsites in the very heart of the national park. We will then explore the reserve on a series of walks which follow the course of the Mupamadzi River through a peaceful, tourist free and wildlife-rich region of the valley. Our groups will be limited to a maximum of just six participants, and our walking safari will be sandwiched between two nights at the start and end in a couple of small luxury lodges/camps (Nkwali Camp and Nsefu Camp) overlooking the Luangwa River.

What's Included?

Food

The cost of all meals and accommodation are included in the price of this holiday with the exception of any necessary meals whilst travelling from London to Mfuwe and back.

Accommodation

For the first two nights and last two nights in the Luangwa Valley, we will be staying in small and exclusive lodges, both of which feature very comfortable two-person chalets/rooms with private facilities. For our 5-night walking safari we will be based in three mobile wilderness camps which will be set up and taken down by our team of friendly camp staff. The tents are of the Meru style and are well equipped with a camp bed and bedding. They do not have a private toilet and shower. The shower/s will be set up under the shade of a nearby tree, along with a long-drop bush toilet. For more information on the camping setup please refer to the detailed tour itinerary.
