7 Days – South Luangwa & Lower Zambezi Zambia Safari
Overview
For most visitors, South Luangwa National Park is by far the most practical park to visit in the valley.
This is Zambia’s premier wildlife park, with superb wildlife and many excellent camps.
This is where the now famous walking safaris started from over 60 years ago and this unique African destination retains some of the finest world-class safari guides.
There are many contenders for the title of Africa's best game park, the Serengeti, Amboseli, Ngorongoro Crater, Etosha, Kruger, Moremi and Mana Pools would certainly be high on the list.
South Luangwa has a better claim than most. Some of these other areas will match its phenomenally high game densities. Many others – the lesser known of Africa's parks – will have equally few visitors.
One or two also allow night drives, which open up a different, nocturnal world to view, allowing leopards to be commonly seen.
However, few have South Luangwa's high quality of guiding together with its remarkable wildlife spectacles, day and night, in the isolation of a true wilderness. These elements, perhaps, are how the contenders ought to be judged, and on these the South Luangwa Park comes out around the top of the list.
South Luangwa National Park, you are likely to see Lions, Leopards, Wild Dog, Hyena, Elephants, Buffaloes, Zebras, Giraffes, Lots of Bird and many others.
Lower Zambezi will give you unique water-based experience and you are likely to see Lots of Elephants, Hippos, lots of birds, Lions and a rare sighting of leopards.
