A typical safari circuit would be to combine a mobile walking safari and game drives in South Luangwa Valley, combined with Victoria Falls, and game viewing on the water in Lower Zambezi National Park. We have presented these options to you as modules so that you easily combine them for a full-length safari in Zambia or with safaris in neighboring Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. The park encompasses 5,611 square miles of untouched wilderness, and is bordered on one side by the meandering Luangwa River, with its many oxbow lagoons, and shady Ebony groves, and on the other side by the spectacular Mchinga escarpment. Within this varied habitat exists an enormous variety of wildlife. Over 40 species of large animals including elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, hippo, giraffe and some 400 species of birds thrive in this last haven of wild Africa.
All camps are quiet, small and privately owned.
Game viewing is usually twice daily in open vehicles or from a hide or on foot. Night drives with a spotlight are one of the highlights of the Luangwa Valley, giving the chance to see nocturnal animals, especially the leopard, for which it is famous. Visits to the crocodile farm, a local village, leisurely picnic drives or a nature walk can be arranged. These walking safaris take place in one of the most inaccessible areas of the South Luangwa, the Mupamadzi River. The countryside is both spectacular and diverse, with hills, woodlands and vast grass plains.
