Itinerary

South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

Bordering the Luangwa River, the northern and southern Luangwa National Parks contain some of the most breathtaking and untouched wilderness in Africa. As a result of this and the parks’ successful anti-poaching campaigns, the area has developed into a world-renowned wildlife haven. The South Luangwa National Park is renowned for its walking safari, which allows visitors to view elephant, hippo and even lion close-up under the supervision of professional and knowledgeable armed guides.

Day 5

Day Notes:

Chikoko Tree Camp is only accessible on foot and offers unparalleled walking safaris, being immersed in the idyll of remotest Africa. On foot, the minutiae of the bush come to the fore: the smells, the essence of the macro world, and a sense of timelessness. On foot, the biggest herbivores become gentle giants as giraffes and elephants tower over you, and the buffalo are now at eye level. The Luangwa's predators now become the prey as you track lion prints from the night before. It is the realness of the experience, that dash of adrenaline associated with standing downwind of an elephant and catching its unmistakable scent, that makes walking safaris unforgettable.

  • Shared morning and afternoon walking safari activities

Day 6

  • Shared morning walking safari activity

  • Check-out from Chikoko Tree Camp

Zambia – South Luangwa and Livingstone

I had such a great time on this trip. The South Luangwa wildlife is stunning, and Victoria Falls so impressive. Indigo Safaris organised a perfect tour.

South Laungwa Safari, Zambia

What a wonderful country and people, and the wildlife is stunning. Chris set up a great tour to South Luangwa national park, and topped it off with two memorable days at Victoria Falls.
