About South Luangwa National Park
South Luangwa National Park gives you the kind of safari experience that feels full from start to finish. Known for strong wildlife sightings, walking safaris, and a landscape shaped by the Luangwa River, it stands out as one of Zambia’s best parks if you want something that feels both scenic and rewarding. It is especially good if you want more than just game drives, with a setting that gives you plenty of variety across the wider park.

Getting There
From Mfuwe, drive into South Luangwa National Park via the main access route near the park entrance, which is the usual starting point for most stays and safari transfers. By air, the easiest option is to fly into Mfuwe, which serves as the main gateway to the park before the final road transfer.
