North Luangwa National Park: Safaris

Safari Holidays to North Luangwa National Park

North and South Luangwa share the same ecosystem and largely the same species – but they differ a little for visitors. Whilst camps in South Luangwa can offer both game drives and walking safaris, safari holidays in North Luangwa focus purely on walking.

North Luangwa tends to be more of a challenge to get to, and more expensive – so it is not usually ideal for those on their first safari holiday. However, more experienced travellers will enjoy the remote and untouched nature of North Luangwa – far beyond the reach of the modern world.
