South Luangwa

Located in eastern Zambia, this unspoiled wilderness is home to an extraordinary density of animals, including elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and the endemic Thornicroft’s giraffe. The park is particularly famous for its leopard sightings, earning it a reputation as one of the best places in Africa to see these elusive big cats in the wild. Whether you’re exploring by vehicle or on foot, the abundance of wildlife and raw, natural beauty of the Luangwa River valley never fails to leave visitors in awe.

Renowned among safari enthusiasts and wildlife photographers, South Luangwa is one of Zambia’s most popular national parks. Despite its growing popularity, it retains a sense of exclusivity and remoteness, far from the crowds of more commercial safari destinations. Game drives here are unhurried and personal, often guided by some of the most knowledgeable rangers in Africa. The park also pioneered the now-iconic walking safari, offering a thrilling and immersive way to experience the African bush.

Liwonde National Park

Tucked along the banks of the Shire River in southern Malawi, Liwonde National Park is a rising star on Africa’s safari scene. Once depleted of wildlife, the park has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to conservation efforts by African Parks. Today, Liwonde offers the chance to see elephants, hippos, crocodiles, black rhinos, and reintroduced cheetahs thriving in their natural habitat. The river is a constant activity source, attracting animals throughout the day and providing a scenic backdrop for boat safaris.

What sets Liwonde apart is its unique blend of wildlife and birdlife in a lush, tropical setting. The park is one of the best places in Malawi for birdwatching, with over 400 species recorded, including Pel’s fishing owl, Lillian’s lovebird, and African skimmers. Game drives, guided walking safaris, and river excursions allow visitors to experience the ecosystem from multiple perspectives, often without the crowds seen in more well-known destinations.

Liwonde combines natural beauty, biodiversity, and tranquillity in a way few places can. With its intimate lodges, commitment to conservation, and variety of safari experiences, it’s a perfect choice for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path adventure — one where you can witness big game and rare birds in a park that’s peaceful, pristine, and full of surprises.

Lower Zambezi National Park

Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Zambia’s most spectacular and serene safari destinations. Its riverfront setting creates a natural haven for wildlife, with elephants, hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, and antelope gathering along the banks, often within sight of your camp. The park also offers excellent opportunities to spot predators like lions and leopards, particularly during the dry season when animals concentrate near water sources. 

Lower Zambezi is renowned for its various activities and the intimate feel of its safaris. Here, you’re not limited to just 4×4 drives. Canoeing down the river, fishing for tigerfish, walking with expert guides, or enjoying sundowners on a boat are all part of the adventure. With no mass tourism and few lodges operating within the park, visitors enjoy an exclusive, uncrowded experience where the wild truly feels untouched.

This park is a paradise for those who crave diversity in landscapes and safari styles. Whether you’re gliding past a herd of elephants while canoeing or tracking big cats on foot, Lower Zambezi offers immersive encounters with nature at every turn.
