Immerse yourself in the unspoiled wilderness of the South Luangwa. Discovering the diverse tapestry of habitats that make up this exceptional National Park. From tranquil rivers to ancient forests and open pans. It is in the South Luangwa that the legendary Norman Carr pioneered the walking safari and conservation based tourism in Africa. Zambia’s outstanding reputation of guiding is ever prevalent in the team. Guides offer guests a raw, authentic safari experience and don’t let the finer details in these vast spaces pass you by on a walking safari.
Slow down and move to a different rhythm on safari. Trace animal tracks in the sand. Listen to the song of bird calls from the trees. Envisage the inner workings of a termite mound. Stop and breathe in the wild African air.
