This is perhaps one of the few last unspoilt wilderness areas and one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa, covering an area of over 9,000 square kilometres. The oxbow lagoons, miombo woodland and plains of the Luangwa Valley hold vast concentrations of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo, wild dog and the puku, which is endemic to the region. The area also boasts over 400 species of birds.
South Luangwa National Park plays host to the world’s highest naturally occurring population of leopard. Venture into their domain on both vehicle and walking safaris in search of this often illusive predator whilst admiring the numerous mammal and bird species that this magnificent park has to offer.
