Home  of the Luangwa River, The Luangwa Valley represents Africa at its finest.  Covering 9,000 square kilometres this pristine wilderness area represents the truest definition of wild African isolation and splendour.  The leopard population of this region is legendary and is said to better any location in central and southern Africa. The ox-bow lakes, woodlands and vast plains of the valley host large concentrations of game.  This tranquil wilderness sanctuary inspired the original African Walking Safari and several multi day walking safaris are offered here.

This national treasure occupies over 4000 square kilometres of tranquil beauty enhanced by the Zambezi River. The River’s edge is overhung with a thick riverine fringe, including ebony and fig trees. Further inland is a floodplain skirted with mopane forest and interspersed with winterthorn trees and huge acacias. Predator viewing is excellent with  leopard, large prides of lion and packs of  wild dog.  Elephant are often seen swimming the Zambezi River to feed on the grassy islands where buffalo also graze and the cry of the fish eagle, so synonymous with Africa punctuates that air.  With day and night game drives, walking safaris, boat cruising and canoeing expeditions the numerous  experiences on offer here adds depth to any safari.
