North Luangwa National Park Safari Trips & Tours

Safari like an explorer of old in this remote region, where walking safaris are the name of the game.

North Luangwa National Park is about as remote as it gets in Africa. The area, covering 4636 square kilometers along the mighty Luangwa River, offers some of the finest wilderness experiences in Zambia. There are no permanent lodges in the entire park, and it's not open to the public, except for a few safari operators who have been granted permission to conduct walking safaris along the river. This is an adventure experience like no other, a walk back in time to a wild place, where the great megafauna of Africa—elephants, lions, buffalo and hippo—still roam the bush and we are just spectators.

What to do in North Luangwa

In Zambia's remote North Luangwa National Park, the wild heart of Africa beats loud and clear. This untouched wilderness is less frequented by tourists, offering a truly exclusive and raw safari experience. Embark on guided walking safaris led by seasoned conservationists, where every step unveils the secrets of the bush. This park is a sanctuary for the elusive black rhino, offering rare glimpses of these magnificent creatures. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the over 350 bird species that adorn the skies. The Mwaleshi River, flowing through the park, attracts dense concentrations of wildlife, including lion, hyena, and vast herds of buffalo. At night, the park comes alive with the sounds of nocturnal creatures, providing an eerie yet thrilling symphony that underscores the wildness of this pristine paradise.
