The South and North Luangwa Walking Safari
Trip code: SP405
A nine day/eight night walking safari operating in a wilderness area of great natural beauty teeming with big game. All luggage and supplies are portaged into the camps, as there are no roads. The trails are between Chikoko and Crocodile Camps, both constructed of thatch overlooking plains of game and all the action of a day in the wild.
Mwaleshi Camp situated in the North Luangwa blends into a scenic bend of the Mwaleshi River, a clear perennial tributary of the Luangwa River. The remoteness of the North Park, an area legendary for its large population of lion, huge herds of buffalo and endemic Cookson's Wildebeest, is enhanced by the lack of roads, all game viewing is on foot.
