NORTH & SOUTH LUANGWA SAFARIS
Track and Trail River Camp, South Luangwa National Park – 4 nights
Your adventure begins in Mfuwe. We will collect you at the Mfuwe airport and drive 40 minutes to Track and Trail River Camp, where you will spend the first 4 nights. You will be able to witness the Luangwa Valley and its truly impressive number of animals in great variety. The Luangwa Valley is famous for several species, including its abundance of the elusive leopards.
The safaris at Track and Trail River Camp are conducted in open 4×4 vehicles, which ensure you are at one with nature, and get a great view of all that is around you. With 2 drives per day, one to catch the early morning light and animals in action, and the second in the late afternoon, stopping to watch the amazing African sunsets, before continuing into the dark on a night safari. Each drive lasts 4 hours. You will be accompanied by our very knowledgeable guides, who are there to answer your questions, and position the car for the best possible photo shots.
On the fifth day we will start traveling north, through the Nsefu sector (another sector in the South Luangwa National Park), which is a unique area for seeing huge herds of buffalo, big prides of lions and, on a regular basis, wild dogs. We will stop to have lunch here before we continue the trip to Wilderness Camp in Luambe National Park.
