South Luangwa National Park South Luangwa ranks amongst Southern Africa's most impressive National Parks for spectacular game viewing and breathtaking scenery. It is also the birthplace of the Walking Safari. Adventure seekers don a pair of hiking boots and a set of binoculars to trek into the bush accompanied by an armed safari guide. Tiptoeing up to prides of lion, herds of elephants and masses of zebra, buffalo, warthogs, giraffe and antelope, you can't help but feel overwhelmed. An exhilarating experience to say the least! Numerous lodges and camps available in every price bracket and are open year round, however walking safaris are only available during the dry season.
