Zambia Safari Holidays

British Airways operate an overnight service down to Lusaka – the capital of Zambia – and from there you would immediately connect on to Mfuwe, which is the gateway point for access to the South Luangwa. The Luangwa Valley marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, which runs down the eastern side of the African continent and this is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly Africa’s finest wildlife sanctuary. The Park covers an area of 9,000km² through which the meandering Luangwa River runs and encompasses a diverse range of contrasting scenery. Oxbow lagoons, woodland and the open plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game and these include elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, giraffe, hippo, and over 400 species of birds can all be seen on a Zambia safari.

If you are attracted by the idea of remote Zambia safari wilderness where you encounter few, if any, other people then the Luangwa Valley is a wonderful part of a Zambia safari to explore in some depth. There are a variety of game viewing options possible and walking features quite prominently as well as drives in open-topped 4x4 vehicles. The best way to see this game-rich region is to divide your time between three little camps and lodges, each of which is located in a contrasting part of the valley and the process of moving from one camp to another simply involves a slightly extended game drive. A high degree of personal service is the hallmark of the this type of Zambia safari, especially as some of the camps only take as few as six people at a time so that in practise you virtually have a private, luxury Zambia safari. Everything you can think of is included so you can pack away your money and forget it!
