The Luangwa Trail

This is a thrilling combination of 4×4 safari and guided walking in South Luangwa National Park in the company of a trained guide and an armed National parks scout. Your safari starts at Luwi Camp on the usually dry Luwi River and finishes at Mchenja Camp on the Luangwa River. Your safari includes a wonderful and safe, fully catered, “sleep-out” under the stars with just a mosquito net for cover to enhance your genuine experience of life in the bush and enjoy the sounds of the African night.

Your journey will be a mixture of day and night game drives in the National Park and some exciting walks, usually in the morning, this may include walking between safari camps whilst your luggage is transferred by vehicle.

The accommodation is a mixture of wonderful little bush camps located in prime game viewing locations within the park.

South Luangwa is very scenic, much of it set against a backdrop of the river itself. The beautiful river acts as a magnet for game and the density and variety to be found is impressive. Over time, the river’s course has carved a multitude of channels that in winter, form lagoons and oxbow lakes, which are the focus of attention for the fascinating mammals and birdlife of South Luangwa.

You may then extend your safari to visit the Lower Zambezi National Park another of Zambia’s stunning wilderness areas which lies on the Northern bank of the mighty Zambezi River opposite Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools and is a real adventure playground with the addition of water based activities to the traditional drives and guided walks.
