VVS7L: South Luangwa Safari
Day 1
 You
will be met at Lusaka Airport to connect with
your flight to South Luangwa National Park.
From Mfuwe Airport you will be transferred to
your game lodge situated in one of the world's most
famous wildlife areas. Settle into your lodge in this
renowned wildlife wilderness, before setting out in the
late afternoon on an open top game viewing drive with a
lodge ranger. Game is most easily sighted in the dry
season from April to October, but the park is at its
most beautiful in the first half of the year after the
rains of the wet season.
Days 2 - 4
South Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s most
famous wildlife park, covering an area in excess of
5,600 square miles (9,050 square kilometres). Sustained
by the great Luangwa River the park hosts a wide
variety of wildlife, birds and vegetation. The changing
seasons add to the park’s richness, ranging from dry
bare bushveld in the winter to a lush green in the
summer in this pristine wildlife wilderness.
Rise early each morning, when game viewing conditions
are at their best, to view wildlife from an open top
safari vehicle in this great conservation area. With
over 60 different animal and over 400 bird species, the
concentration of game around the Luangwa River and its
ox bow lagoons is amongst the highest in Africa,
including four of the Big 5 – lion, elephant,
buffalo and leopard (sadly rhino has been poached to
extinction). Also search for zebra, giraffe, antelope
and much more, with leopard sightings being particularly
outstanding.
After relaxing at your lodge during the heat of the day,
in the late afternoon set out on another game drive with
your ranger. Each evening relax by the campfire under
balmy African skies and hear the untamed sounds of
wildlife all around!
Day 5
Enjoy an early morning game drive in South Luangwa
Valley before your transfer to your next safari
lodge, game viewing along the way.
Relax and settle in to your new lodge, situated in a
different region of the great South Luangwa National
Park, before setting off again in the late afternoon on
another game drive or walk.
Days 6 - 7
Experience more of the wild and remote South
Luangwa Valley at your next game lodge, with two
game drives or walks a day in this different setting
with an experienced guide.
Guided by your ranger, enjoy the sights and sounds of
the wild each day. Bird watching is outstanding and you
can also enjoy observing the smaller creatures and
insects of this great wildlife conservation wilderness,
before relaxing around a roaring fire each evening and
dining under the stars!
Day 8
After some final game viewing, transfer to Mfuwe Airport
for your light aircraft flight to Lusaka Airport and
your flight home.
