Discover Untamed
Zambia in the Wild's Embrace
South Luangwa National Park offers an unrivalled wildlife experience in a remote, untamed wilderness. Covering over 9,000 km² of woodland savannah, much of which remains unexplored, it boasts an impressive density of wildlife, particularly around the Luangwa River. Home to four of the Big Five, with the absence of rhinos due to poaching, the park supports 60 animal species and over 400 bird species.
Known for its walking safaris, South Luangwa also allows night game drives, offering thrilling encounters with buffalo, elephants, lions, wild dogs, and various antelope species. Large pods of hippos and gigantic crocodiles inhabit the Luangwa River, best viewed on boating and canoeing excursions.
