Why go

Why visit this place?

North Luangwa combines guided walking and game-drive Safaris with low visitor density, strong elephant and buffalo populations, predators, and Luangwa-region wildlife.

When you arrive

What to expect

Few roads, long distances, riverine and mopane woodland, escarpment country, walking areas, and carefully arranged remote logistics.

Local knowledge

Local tip

Confirm the exact gate, airstrip, transfer, and operating season with the current Safari arrangements before travel.

Visiting

Getting there

Reach the park by arranged light aircraft, or by strongly seasonal road access from the Great North Road through Mano Gate. An eastern approach includes a Luangwa River pontoon.

Best time: The main road-access and Safari season runs through the dry months, generally June or July to October. Many routes become impractical during the rains.
