EXPLORE South Luangwa


 South Luangwa is the southern tip of the Luangwa Valley in Zambia that consists three national parks. Located in the Great Rift Valley in the eastern province of Zambia, South Luangwa has been dubbed as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries world-wide. 

Renowned for the high wildlife population in the park, the South Luangwa National Park is one of the most popular of the three parks in the Valley. With all-year access and a changing in scenery, fauna and flora as the seasons go by, this is a destination that shouldn’t be missed. Home to over 4oo bird species and 60 species of mammal, the park is around 9000 square kilometres in size and is one of Africa’s ecologically unspoiled wilderness areas. Not only is it an all-year-round destination, but it is one that is known for its population of leopard – one of the more difficult wild cats to be spotted. 

More common sightings include large herds of elephant, hippopotamus and crocodile, amongst many others, but especially lions. South Luangwa has indigenous species that belong to and can only be seen here: the Thornicroft giraffe and the Cookson’s wildebeest – two wildlife species that should not be missed when visiting the National Park. The concentration of wildlife in the park, specifically around the Luangwa River and its lagoons are considered to be amongst the top-rated sightings in Africa. The river is also the most intact major river systems in the continent and keeps the park intact itself.

One of the most memorable experiences any traveller can expect to have at South Luangwa is the famous walking safari that originated in the National Park and is still to this day, the finest way in which to experience the wildlife and wonder that is Africa. 

Accommodation in South Luangwa captures the essence of Africa in the smallest of details and promises great hospitality. South Luangwa accommodation accommodates a selection of experiences where luxurious safari lodges, quaint tented camps and self-catering guesthouses with breathtaking views are on offer. Suitable for all kinds of budgets, South Luangwa is a destination not to be missed.
