Overview
South Luangwa National Park
This South Luangwa Safari with Bushcamp Co in Zambia aims to offer the best of all worlds. It combines staying in one of the central lodges which focuses on game drives. Followed by the Bushcamps which focus more on walking safaris. However, you can opt to do a mix of walking and game drives if you prefer.
You arrive at Mfuwe Airport where you are met and transferred to Mfuwe Lodge for 1 night. From here you are transferred to Chamilandu Camp or Bilimungwe for 3 nights. Then onto Chindeni or Kapamba Camp for 3 nights before transferring back to Mfuwe. If you would like a more varied 'on the move' safari, you could also opt for having 2 nights at 3 different camps for the same price.
A South Luangwa walking safari combines well with all other areas of Zambia. Such as the Lower Zambezi National Park or Victoria Falls. The focus in the bush camps is on walking but game drives are also on offer, especially in the afternoon.
Different Camps at the start and end of the Safari Season
If you come at the start or end of the safari season you will stay at Bilimungwe and Kapamba Camp. These are the only Bushcamp Company camps which open in April and stay open later into December due to their sandy locations. (Meaning that they don’t get so water-logged in the summer rainy season).
Note if you want, you can add a 2nd or 3rd night at Mfuwe to focus on more on game drives with less time in the bush camps. Contact us for a quote.
Note: We include ALL the park fees in our prices which amount to $720 for 7 nights (so make sure you are comparing apples with apples when looking at safari prices!)
