Luangwa Valley Safaris

3 camps located in South Luangwa, North Luangwa and Luambe National Parks

Exploring the last wild frontier in Zambia

These are the arguably the wildest and most remote camps in Zambia. Miles and miles of Luangwa wilderness, almost no visitors and incredible wildlife viewing. This is what the Luangwa is all about. For both these camps, there really is NOTHING HERE except you and the wildlife and incredible beauty. For years, North Luangwa was cut off – only accessible to visitors by plane or intrepid self driving. However the combination with Luambe has meant now its possible to spend 5 to 7 days in this remote wilderness but letting us do all the work of moving you around and between the parks.
