See animals on a night game drive in South Luangwa

With a powerful spotlight, there’s no end to what you might see in the darkness

What you'll do

The South Luangwa isn’t known as the 'Valley of the Leopard' for no reason – and what better time to try and spot these beautiful cats than on a night safari? Head out after dinner with your guide and power up the spotlight to search for those elusive nocturnal creatures. Your seasoned guide knows just how to do that while remaining undetected, following the subtle snap of a branch or, most excitingly, alarm calls. South Luangwa is one of the few parks where a night drive is possible and it more than lives up to its reputation with plenty of foraging hippo, big cats on the hunt and, if you're lucky, the rare aardvark.
