Definitive Guide to South Luangwa National Park: Walking Safaris, Bushcamps, Expert Tips, and More.

Everything you need to know about walking safaris, wildlife, camps, and seasons in South Luangwa National Park — written by the people who live and work here.

Your Complete Guide to South Luangwa National Park and the Luangwa Valley is provided by The Bushcamp Company.
South Luangwa National Park stands among Africa’s greatest wildlife destinations — a vast, uncrowded valley renowned for its exceptional leopard sightings, thriving populations of elephant, lion, and wild dog, and as the birthplace of the walking safari.

For more than twenty years, The Bushcamp Company has been the largest safari operator within South Luangwa National Park, running eight iconic camps inside the park itself. These include two gateway properties — the award‑winning Mfuwe Lodge and The Villas at KuKaya — as well as six intimate bushcamps set deep within a 140,000‑acre exclusive‑use area in the remote, game‑rich southern sector of the park.

Everything in this guide comes from direct experience. We want you to know this valley as we do.
