Day 6

South Luangwa

Day 6 - 9: The South Luangwa is regarded as the home of the walking safari and it was Norman Carr himself who first took tourists through the bush on foot back in the 1940s. Although Norman passed away in 1996 the company he left behind still sets the standard for walking safaris that other operators strive to meet. For your first two days you will move from Kapani to the first of your remote bush camp accommodations from where you will experience your first proper walking safari. Game viewing activities from either Luwi or Nsolo bush camps are mostly on foot although game drives and night drives are always an option. On the third day you will transfer to your next bush camp, either walking or driving (or a combination of both). You will arrive in time for brunch. You’ll have two full days here exploring the South Luangwa and all it has to offer. Kakuli or Mchenja offer both walking and driving safaris. 3 nights in South Luangwa National Park Mahlatini recommends the following accommodation: Luwi Bush Camps in a Hut (AI) Nsolo Bush Camps in a Chalet (AI) Kakuli Bush Camps in a Tent with thatched roof (AI) Mchenja Bush Camps in a Traditional Safari Tent (AI) - See more accommodation options in South Luangwa
