A 7 night, 8 day safari in the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia 

May to October

Where 

• Starting and ending in Lusaka, includes
• 1 night at Mfuwe Lodge in the South Luangwa 
• 3 nights at Kuyenda, Chamilandu or Chindeni Bush Camp, south of Mfuwe Lodge.
• 3 nights at Bilimungwe or Kapamba Bush Camp in the southern sector of the South Luangwa National Park.

This safari has been our most successful trip in Zambia over the last 11 years - it's good value for money, is logistically simple to arrange and has consistently produced excellent client feedback...give it thought.

Highlights 

• This safari focuses on walking trails from three seasonal bush camps - backed up walking trails between camps can be arranged on request.
• The guiding standards are amongst the best available in Zambia
• Each bush camp accommodates only 6 guests so a high degree of exclusivity is assured
• The South Luangwa Park is regarded as one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa. Well known for its large herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope and hippo, and stunning riverine floodplain scenery along the Luangwa River.
• 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 the dry season from 1st June to 31 October  
• Game concentrations are at their peak during September and October - bear in mind that it's very hot before the rains which usually arrive in November
• Bilimungwe and Kapamba are now open to end of December - enquire for low season rates through November and December

Best Access 

Scheduled daily flights into Mfuwe from Lusaka  

Tips and notes 

• If you have the time and the budget to spare, an extension into the very remote North Luangwa offers the total Luangwa experience over a 10 night break 
• This safari is an excellent combination with Malawi and can be readily arranged as a combination with the Kafue or properties on Lake Kariba or the Lower Zambezi (Zambia or Zimbabwe).
• Victoria Falls is a simple connection from Lusaka and should be considered as an extension to this trip.
• This safari can be started on any day of the week.
• A green season safari is available from Mfuwe Lodge between November and May
• Advance bookings are essential for July, August and September
