The deep Luangwa valley, east of Zambia, is a highlight for nature conservation in Africa, boasting no less than four large national parks!
We invite you to discover the South Luangwa National Park, which impresses with its great diversity of habitats and the numerous species associated with them. Norman Carr pioneered the first walking safaris in this region in the 1950s (those days, they used to sleep out in the open!). Nowadays, the Luangwa is still the best place in Africa to walk in harmony with nature. As the dry season approaches, the Luangwa River (which is so high during the rainy season that the reserve becomes inaccessible by road) dries slowly until only few oxbows remain. In September/October, conditions are tough for animals but at their best for the traveller who seeks top game watching. Waterholes concentrate biodiversity and it becomes almost common to see lion or leopard hunts! Based in exclusive and luxurious camps deep in the park, you discover this pristine territory on foot or in 4x4 where nature remains quasi-untouched.
