Chris and Barbara travelled to Zambia’s South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi
We have had one of our best holidays ever. The scenery was beautiful, and the fantastic camps were a pleasure to be in. The meals were all very good, a lovely variety and well presented. Better than in some hotels and restaurants we have been to. Then the excitement of the game drives. We have been so lucky to have seen so much diverse wildlife. The bird life has also been great and we have seen quite a few that we hadn’t seen before, the Crowned Cranes, Carmine bee-eaters, Ground Hornbills, Lappet Faced Vultures. The leopard sightings were very good, seeing nine in our ten day holiday. Then seeing a Aardvark two nights running was incredible. Wow! One of the very best holidays.

Country Map
North Luangwa National Park
A very wild and remote park offering primarily walking safaris. Less game than South Luangwa but also fewer visitors.
South Luangwa National Park
Zambia’s premier wildlife destination with superb game-viewing, varied habitats, excellent walking options and the beautiful and dynamic Luangwa River as the focal point. Especially good for leopard sightings.
Lower Zambezi National Park
A scenically stunning region dominated by the mighty Zambezi River. Good game-viewing is complemented by wonderful river activities, including canoeing, boating and fishing.
Kafue National Park
A huge and remote wilderness area with a good variety of habitat and game species. The Busanga Plains region in the north of the park is most productive for game.
Livingstone, Victoria Falls and the Upper Zambezi
Primarily offers access to Victoria Falls, the world’s widest waterfall, but the river is stunning and there is plenty to enjoy in the area from birding and game-viewing to cultural excursions and adrenalin sports.
