Safari into South Luangwa national park in Zambia – green season

THE JOURNEY: Safari into South Luangwa national park in Zambia

9 days on the Luangwa river, into South Luangwa national park, 8 nights to enjoy full nature, in fixed tents. Luangwa is the heart of an enchanting ecosystem boasting antelopes, zebras, buffaloes, elephants and an abundance of predators. Lions, jackals, hyenas, cheetahs, small herds of endangered wild dogs and, last but not least, relatively simple to see, the leopard. The park also houses two endemic rarity:  Thornicroft's giraffe and Cookson's hartebeest.  A true ornithological paradise with more than 400 species of birds. The park is famous for its leopards: this lonely feline, however, is difficult to spot, but during night safaris we will have more chances. Lions and hyenas are easy to spot. We will arrange night safaris,  one of the most fascinating and fascinating experiences that can be done at South Luangwa National Park, one of the few areas in Africa where this activity is allowed.

1° DAY Mfuwe, ZAMBIA, South Luangwa. Arrival at Mfuwe. Transfer to camp located along the river. Overnight stays on the banks of the Luangwa River. Hippos, elephants and giraffes often cross the river.

2°-3° DAY SOUTH LUANGWA national park. The rich diversity of habitats will be clear in our first morning safari and during the night drive, 4x4 safaris during evening hours, when it is easier to spot the nightlife: inside South Luangwa National Park looking for lions, leopards , hyenas, genes, owls, nightjar ... Fixed tents on the banks of the Luangwa River.

4° DAY SOUTH LUANGWA national park. On safari, a word used to describe off-road inside the park. During the morning we will try to go back to our footsteps, where the evening before some particular scene captured our attention or exploring new areas. In the afternoon night safaris, looking for leopardS or all other animals, scents, smells, sounds, stars, this evening will give us a gift. Overnight as the previous night.

5° DAY SOUTH LUANGWA national park. Safari in the morning and night safaris. We will dedicate the day to watch animals during thecooler hours of the day: in the morning, just after dawn, and in the afternoon, before and after sunset. We will try, as every day, to take full advantage of the opportunities to spot all animals. In the morning it is easy to see elephant cross the river, as well as impala and puku devote themselves to defending the territory. Baboons are busy with the daily toilet and some little fall from the top of some "sausage tree" fortunately without any consequences. Overnight as the previous night.

6° DAY SOUTH LUANGWA national park. Depending on what we have seen in the previous days, the predators we have seen or the particular scenes we witnessed will explore different areas of the park, looking for numerous animals within the park. Often, the only view of the landscape shines our eyes and heart. In the afternoon as always afternoon and night safari, to pick up some new scenes and with a little luck to spot the pearl civet or other birds and predators. Overnight in as the previous night along the Luangwa River.

7° / 8° DAY SOUTH LUANGWA national park. A morning safari, when light is better, to track traces of felids and try to spot even the rare wild dog, an endangered canine living in South Luangwa, one of the few parks in Africa whereyou can see it. Return to the camp and relax. At evening, a night safari to see predators during hunting, including night raptors. With the light of the spotlight, which is equipped with the means we will use for the safari, we will be able to spot and photograph animals in a very original way. Here we have seen lion hunting, many hyenas, leopard hunting and in general predators fully active. Overnight as the previous night.

9° DAY SOUTH LUANGWA national park - MFUWE. Transfer to Mfuwe international airport, international flight.
