South Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s premier wildlife park, with magnificent wildlife and many great cabins. Where the now popular walking safaris originated from over 60 years ago, this African destination retains some of the most exceptional world-class safari tour guides.

Few parks have South Luangwa’s high position of guiding collectively with its extraordinary wildlife spectacles, day and night, in the separation of a pure wilderness. On this seven day trip you will spend you mornings game viewing, either by a 4x4 game drive or walking safari, returning to the lodge in time for brunch before an afternoon/night game drive.

Journey highlights

Key moments and experiences on this trip

Walking safari
South Luangwa National Park

Walking safari

The Luangwa Valley is the birthplace of the African walking safari and offers possibly the most authentic bush experience in Africa. Walks are led by knowledgeable and passionate guides, escorted by an armed national park scout.

Game drive
South Luangwa National Park

Game drive

Driving safari gets visitors deep into the remote corners of the park to see its animal inhabitants in their natural surroundings. Four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo – are among the attractions. Hyena, wild dog, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, numerous antelopes, and hippo can also be seen.

Night safari
South Luangwa National Park

Night safari

Night game drives offer the chance to catch sight of elusive nocturnal wildlife among the bushveld, such as civets, genets, hyenas, and leopards. Stunning bird species that only make an appearance at night include nightjars and an amazing variety of owls. Watching predators hunt is a visceral and haunting experience.

Luangwa spa break
South Luangwa National Park

Luangwa spa break

A full-body spa treatment can offer some well-deserved relaxation between safaris, including stress-relieving massages, reflexology and moisturising wraps.

Fantastic planning and arranging of this trip by Robert of Absolute Zambia Safaris — everything was perfect from start to finish. We were picked up on time for all activities, the hotel was great — good food, nice pool, wifi, etc and good location, the white water rafting was great, Angel Pool was very much enjoyed by everyone and the sunset cruise was almost empty — so we had the entire upper deck of the boat to ourselves. The food on the boat was tremendous, and the sunset magnificent. Everyone said this was possibly the best holiday ever. We are very grateful to Absolute Zambia whose flawless organising of all of this made it happen.

Absolute Zambia Safaris organised a 2 week trip in Zambia for us — to South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and Livingstone. We cannot thank them enough for their wonderful organisation, thoughtful communication and great value for money. This was our first visit to Africa and they made it a breeze, with excellent choices of accomodation, transport, and drivers etc. At all times we were well looked after and had absolutely no concerns regarding safety or anything else for that matter. Thanks so much Absolute Zambia, we will get back to you for our next holiday in Africa.
