Bird Watching
Safari:
South Luangwa National Park boasts over
420 of Zambia's 732 species of birds. This
includes 39 types of birds of prey and 47
migrant species, so whatever the season,
the South Luangwa National Park is an excellent
bird watching destination. Our guides will
accompany your personalized safari. The
most recommended and interesting time for
bird watching is from November to May when
the birds have their breeding plumage and
the migrant birds visit the Luangwa Valley.
