A 7 night, 8 day safari in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park during the "green season"

...available November to May inclusive...

Where 

• Starting and ending in Lusaka, includes
• 7 nights at Mfuwe Lodge in the South Luangwa 

We regard this as our best safari module during southern Africa's warm and wet summer months from November through to May.   You're offered un-crowded access to a remote spot offering wonderful game conditions, rich bush and tremendous birding ... a rare experience!

Highlights 

• The Green Season is a phenomenal time to see the National Park whilst the Luangwa River is high and dramatic
• The rains have arrived and the Park has had its thirst of October quenched
• The migrant birds are in breeding condition with dramatic plumage and displays
• The Park is green and lush and still relatively accessible
• The rain tends to fall in the night, leaving the days warm and sunny and perfect for game viewing followed by a swim in the pool. (In the last 7 seasons of operation, we've only called off 4 drives due to the rain - guests made up for it with a longer drive the following day.)
• Photographers love this season particularly as the air is clear, the colours vibrant and the cloud formations stunning
• It’s an ideal time for rare Wild Dog sightings
• Night drives are a specialty, lion and leopard are frequently encountered
• Thornicroft's giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest are endemic  

Best time of the year 

• This safari runs during our "green season" from the 1st of November to the 31st of May.  The weather is warm through the season, with cool evenings developing from mid April.

Best Access 

There are return flights to/from Mfuwe on a Friday and Sunday from Lusaka or Lilongwe (Malawi) 

Tips and notes
