At the end of the great rift valley in Zambia lies one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in the world called The South Luangwa National Park. This premier wilderness area is an astonishing place where the meandering Luangwa River runs through woodlands and large plains that play host to huge concentrations of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, lion, giraffe, hippos and over 450 species of birds. Nicknamed the Valley of the Leopard, The South Luangwa is one of the top 5 places to see leopards in all of Africa. It is here that you will also find one of the last strongholds of the endangered and amazing African Painted Dog. A thrill for any novice or experienced African safari lover.
Summer Adventure Safari
These two camps are everything you need for the perfect South Luangwa Safari. You will begin your journey at Flatdogs on the banks of the South Luangwa River where wildlife frequently visit. Flatdogs has a delicious & varied menu and impeccable staff, so you are sure to be well taken care of. The next stop on your safari journey are the fabulous Chindeni & Kapamba Bushcamps. The Bushcamps are a world of their own deep in South Luangwa in the tranquility of wilderness. You will have a safari coordinator as your host for the entirety of your time in Zambia. Your coordinator ensures your travels are simple and your experiences are superb. Expert photographer Amish Chhagan will be teaching photography and answering any questions along the way. His passion for photography leads him to create visually striking and thought provoking images to engage and inspire you long after your safari has ended.

South Luangwa
South Luangwa National Park is one of the few remaining wild places on our planet. It is an incredible location to experience an African safari because of its high concentrations of birds and mammals and low number of tourists. Endangered species such as the African painted dog and endemic species such as the Thornicroft’s giraffe, amongst other iconic African wildlife, will be some of your greatest highlights. The mighty Luangwa River brings this valley to life and provides the perfect habitat for more than 400 species of birds and over 60 species of favorite African mammals. All Dazzle Africa safaris support the conservation and protection of this magnificent ecosystem.
