The South Luangwa is regarded as the home of walking safaris, certainly they were common place in this Park long before anywhere else and with the high quality of guiding found at most of the safari operations there are few places better suited to this most exciting way of experiencing the African bush. Night drives are another popular activity offered by all camps giving guests the chance to see nocturnal species that will not be seen by day and of course the early evening hours are best for watching predators hunting. The Valley provides an excellent habitat for leopards leading to higher than usual concentrations, although they are very often seem on night-drives it is not at all uncommon to see them in daylight hours as well. The journey from the airport to Luangwa River Camp is about an hour. Set on the bend of the Luangwa River, Luangwa River camp will be your home for the next few days.

3 nights at Potato Bush Camp

Welcome to the Lower Zambezi... This National Park lies on the northern bank of the Zambezi River, the Park stretches back through the hills to the north but most of the game is found on the fairly narrow strip of land between the river and the hills. There are a few camps up-stream of the National Park but very few inside the Park itself so visitors never feel overcrowded. One of the features that make it so popular is the variety of activities on offer, with a river that is navigable year-round come waterborne activities such as boating and canoeing to contrast with the usual driving and walking safaris that are also available. This stretch of the mighty Zambezi is also one of the best areas in which to fish for the notorious Tiger Fish, Africa's most exciting freshwater sport fish. When you leave South Luangwa, you will fly via Lusaka to the Lower Zambezi. Potato Bush Camp is set on the bank of the Zambezi River close to the western edge of the National Park and just a 35 minute road and boat transfer away from Jeki Airstrip where you will land.
