Discover Untamed

Zambia in the Wild’s Embrace

Immerse yourself in the legendary South Luangwa National Park, Zambia—a realm of untamed beauty and remarkable wildlife density. Explore a sanctuary where predators roam freely and the Luangwa River teems with life. As the birthplace of the walking safari, it invites you to connect with Africa’s primal pulse. Venture into landscapes largely untouched by time, experiencing the raw essence of true Zambian wilderness. Discover elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and hundreds of bird species in this untamed safari haven.

South Luangwa National Park offers an unrivalled wildlife experience in a remote, untamed wilderness. Covering over 9,000 km² of woodland savannah, much of which remains unexplored, it boasts an impressive density of wildlife, particularly around the Luangwa River. Home to four of the Big Five, with the absence of rhinos due to poaching, the park supports 60 animal species and over 400 bird species.

Known for its walking safaris, South Luangwa also allows night game drives, offering thrilling encounters with buffalo, elephants, lions, wild dogs, and various antelope species. Large pods of hippos and gigantic crocodiles inhabit the Luangwa River, best viewed on boating and canoeing excursions.
