South Luangwa Valley: walking trails close to Luangwa River and unspoilt wilderness areas
South Luangwa covers an area of over 9000 sq. km. through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game – from enormous herds of elephant, plenty of buffalo, numerous antelope including sable and the rare roan; to predators including leopard, lion and caracal – and over 400 species of birds. From ants to buffalo, a bird’s nest to tracking a lion, you will learn the many facets of the bush. The fully serviced mobile camp is extremely comfortable and well–equipped with walk–in tents and full bedding. Have a look at this video for more info https://youtube/FKGcYrlMRCE

Detailed Itinerary:
Day 1&2 Luangwa River Camp
On arrival at Lusaka International Airport, you will be met by a representative who will have a name board with your names. He/She will assist you with immigration and customs clearing then check in for your flight to Mfuwe, South Luangwa. The flight is on average one hour. At Mfuwe International Airport a guide will meet you and transfer you by vehicle to Luangwa River Camp, through colourful local scenes of villages, agriculture as well as bush. The camp is located on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking a very game rich area of the South Luangwa National Park and is ideally situated for the start of your safari.
Day 3 Tena Tena
Often you will get up before dawn so you’re in the park in time for the fantastic dawn light – the camp ideally has access to the park across the river, so it takes only a few swift minutes. You’ll maximise your time in the park finding many subjects to photograph from the very small to the very big. After enjoying a delicious lunch, you can choose to relax during siesta, read a good book or simply lounge and enjoy your surroundings.
Day 4&5
Up for an early breakfast and then game drive through the park to the Luangwa River crossing point opposite Tena Tena. This is a 3 hour drive. Tena Tena staff will meet and boat the party across the river, and then a 20 minute drive to Tena Tena camp. This remote and small camp lies within the National Park and enjoys a stunning location on a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River. A grove of mahogany trees shade the large custom-made tents. From the thatched dining room and bar, guests can watch the elephants, hippo and antelope on the riverbank.
Day 6&7 Nsefu Camp
Following a relaxed breakfast you will walk out of camp and head towards Nsefu Camp, stopping for tea and cake along the way and arriving in time for lunch. The camp is on a sweeping bend of the river. Nsefu was the first game camp in Zambia and dates back to the early fifties. The Nsefu Sector was recognized then as a phenomenal area and it still is.
Day 8
Depending on your flight time you will be transferred by vehicle to Mfuwe Airport. End of Services
