Amongst the most fertile wildlife habitats on the globe, South Luangwa Park is such a haven for wildlife you can basically guarantee sighting antelope, giraffe, crocodiles, lions, wild dog and elephants, while the Luangwa river has the highest concentration of hippos in Africa. The area also boasts a large natural population of leopards, groups of the very rare and endangered African wild dog plus an absurd level of birdlife, with over 400 species resident at some point of the year. Brightly-coloured bee-eater birds swarming in the thousands is an unforgettable sight for even seasoned safari-nuts.

Luangwa’s appeal is extended by its pronounced weather patterns and distinct seasons that create very different safari experiences as the year progresses. Extra info about how much does an african safari cost.
