South Luangwa National Park

This park, due to its large numbers of animals is one of the great parks in Africa, like Serengeti or Etosha or Kruger or Okavango Delta...
.
Especially on the night game drives chances are very good for lion and leopard, which are seen by most of our guests. Also a plus is the relatively small number of visitors that come to the park. This allows a true safari atmosphere. Game walks are popular nowadays and they have they origin in this park, where they have been on offer before any other place.
Lodges that we choose offer excellent quality of accommodation and meals. And they focus on genuine nature experience. Here safari atmosphere is also guaranteed in between the game drives, when being in the lodge. The lodges are situated at the Luangwa river and from here one can often see elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras and some antelopes. A special is the stay in the bush camp with two game walks.
The list of mammals that have been recorded in the park is interesting and long: elefant; hippo; Thornicroft´s giraffe; African buffalo; wild dog; serval cat; Burchell´s zebra; Greater Kudu; Elipse waterbuck; puku; bushbuck; impala; common duiker; Cookson Wildebeest; eland antelope; warthog; yellow baboon; vervet monkey. Nocturnal mammals include: spotted hyena; side-striped jackal; porcupine; African civet; large-spotted genet; honey badger; four-toed elephant shrew and 9 different kinds of mongoose. Bird Life is fascinating with Pel’s Fishing Owl, Lillian’s Lovebird and African Skimmer being special for this park, that holds a large number of birds of prey as well as water birds.

In all the camps at South Luangwa National Park the days are spent in a similar way; in the classical South Luangwa rhythm that guarantees best game viewing options. You could not really say that you have been there if you would spend your day different: The early bird breakfast is served at 5.40 am (6.00 from June to August) and by 6.00 am (6.30) you will be taken in an open safari vehicle on a game drive of about 4 hours. This guarantees best game viewing options. A brunch will be served just after returning to the camp. The afternoon can be spent chilling, for example at the pool. At 3.30 pm you meet for tea and then go on the combined afternoon and night drive. A sun-downer is served during the game drive and dinner after returning to the camp at around 8.00 pm. The game drives are guided by professional qualified guides. They take you to the most interesting places of the area and provide you with information about the wilderness and the wildlife.
