SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK
Zambia’s Big Hitter
South Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s flagship park. The wildlife-watching here is unparalleled and this, coupled with the sublime beauty of the bush, puts it in the top selection of parks in Southern Africa. In the footsteps of Norman Carr, some of the best guides in Africa use The Luangwa Valley as their playground. In addition to this, the park boasts some of the best leopard viewing in Africa and wild dogs have also made a strong comeback in recent times.
