The South Luangwa National Park, Zambia marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. This is one of the most exclusive experiences on offer in the African bush. The park is centred around the Luangwa River. Untapped by man, its natural ebb and flow of flooding makes much of the park inaccessible by road which keeps it a sanctuary for the large concentration of game that live there. A paradise for birders, over 450 species are to be found in the park, and the wildlife includes elephant, buffalo, hippos, giraffe, leopards and lions.
Itinerary:
Nkwali & Nsefu – 6 nights:
The Luangwa Valley, which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It covers an area of over 9000 sq. km. through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game – including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo – and over 450 species of birds.

Day 1:
On arrival at Lusaka International Airport you will be meet and assisted onto your flight to Mfuwe, South Luangwa National Park, your home for the next week. A guide from Robin Pope Safaris will meet you and drive you to Nkwali through village life and even a chance for you to experience your first game viewing in the Luangwa. Depending on your arrival time, you may have time for an afternoon activity to start your Photographic Safari.
NKWALI Day 2 & 3:
You will often get up before dawn so you’re in the park in time for the fantastic dawn light – luckily, the camp or house have access to the park across the Luangwa River, so it takes only a few swift minutes. You’ll maximise your time in the park finding many subjects to photograph from the small to the big. After enjoying a delicious lunch, you can choose to relax during siesta or sort through your photographs and come to grips with Adobe Light room. After a refreshing cup of tea or coffee and scrumptious cake you go back to the park to find even more in the afternoon and evening, returning to camp for dinner around 20h30. Most evenings there will be a slideshow where you will get an illustration of some of the points taught or highlighted throughout the day, and you’ll also have a chance to show off your best shots.
NKWALI Day 4-6:
Your transfer to Nsefu is by game drive transfer. David in consultation with the group may suggest a leisurely drive up, making the most of the trip up to the Nsefu Sector. There is much to see and experience along the way. Depending on when you take your trip there will be variations in the type of light and photo opportunities. While in the Nsefu Sector you will explore the park on foot and by vehicle. An all-day picnic drive to the salt pans that will cover different habitats comes highly recommended and is an exceptional day’s safari. You can mix and match activities to maximize your experience in this game rich and remote area of the Luangwa.
NSEFU CAMP Day 7:
After an early breakfast you will transferred back to Mfuwe Airport for your flight to Lusaka to meet your connecting flight.
