Track wildlife on a game drive in South Luangwa

On a safari drive you'll cover more ground and seeing more wildlife

What you'll do

Whether you’re watching elephant crossing the mighty Luangwa River, home to one of Africa's largest populations of hippo, or enjoying the birds flittering above oxbow lagoons, Zambian safaris don’t get much better than in the South Luangwa. The park allows open vehicles, which should prick up your ears - it means 360° wildlife-spotting and incredible photography. Your safari is led by an expert guide, who knows every creature in the park and how to follow their trail. Most camps offer two drives a day (one early in the morning and one later in the afternoon, continuing into the night) allowing you to really get to grips with all the park has to offer, broken only by bonnet tea breaks or sundowners in a scenic location.
