WELCOME TO SOUTH LUANGWA
Immerse yourself in Zambia's most pristine and unspoiled wilderness.
Situated between 500 and 800 meters above sea level, and covering approximately 9,050 square kilometers in eastern Zambia, the South Luangwa National Park is home to abundant wildlife, ecological diversity, and stunning topography. With over 420 species of birds and 60 species of mammals, this national park is as wild as it is beautiful. Originally founded as a game reserve in 1904, it was declared a national park in 1972 and has been naturally preserved and maintained without outside interference or destruction.
It was here, in this park, where the first ‘walking safari’ took place. Norman Carr, a ranger in the reserve in the 1940s, started operating safaris to encourage tourism and species conservation. You, too, can retrace his footsteps through the Bush, face to face with not only the large animals, but also the vast world teeming beneath your feet. Experience it all with our gracious guides, far away from the noise of the city, and soak in the peace of an untouched wilderness. If you listen carefully, you'll uncover some of the secrets these plains hide so well.
