Discover the whole Luangwa Valley.
Our 10 night North/South Luangwa Safari takes you through the whole of the Luangwa Valley from the very south of the South Luangwa National Park to North Luangwa National Park. On this Safari we discover the unspoilt wilderness and untouched beauty of the Luangwa River region.
The safari is conducted on foot and in open 4 x 4 vehicles, shade roofs provide comfort for the travel between camps. This Safari takes you though some of the remotest areas in Africa, challenging road conditions and river crossings add to the adventure.

From Kafunta River Lodge we travel 2 to 4 hours south to at the remote Island Bush Camp. The Camp is set on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking a huge pod of hippos, the days are spend exploring this area on foot, in the evening we enjoy a campfire meal by the Luangwa River.
We return to Mfuwe before we fly to North Luangwa, the short flight offers the great opportunity to see this remote area and its natural beauty from the air. The North Luangwa National Park is known for its high population of predators, huge buffalo herds and endemic Cookson’s wildebeest. It is one of the wildest places on earth!
