Game Drives
Game drives are the most popular way to discover the park and observe all the astounding wildlife and birdlife of South Luangwa. We offer morning and afternoon game drives with our qualified guides in customised open vehicles. The afternoon drive extends as a night drive.
WALKING SAFARIS
The Luangwa Valley is one of the few places in Africa where it is possible to walk amongst the wilderness. Under the guidance of our professional guides and an armed national park scout, you have the opportunity to safely discover the secrets of the African bush up close and personal.
NIGHT DRIVES
Our afternoon game drives continue after sunset to have the unique opportunity to observe those animals which are active only at night, and to have a chance to see the larger predators such as leopards, lions and hyenas on the move and possibly hunting.
BIRDING SAFARIS
South Luangwa is a paradise for keen bird watchers with over 420 recorded species of birds, including 39 birds of prey and 47 migrant species. If you are a dedicated ornithologist, we offer specialised birding safaris with our passionate guides. Prior arrangement and private vehicle recommended.

The Luangwa Valley is the ideal place for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.
