Tour price (Per person): Price to be announced

This short extension visits the teeming reserve of South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, famous for its magnificent game diversity and incredibly rich birdlife. We will spend several nights in this magnificent park, working the network of roads, by means of a custom-designed open-back safari vehicle to locate as many of the mammals and birds that inhabit this vast wilderness. Should it tickle your fancy, Luangwa National Park also offers some of the best guided walking safaris in the world allowing a far more intimate safari experience with on-foot interactions with wild Arican Elephants and other megafauna.

What our clients say about us

Glen Valentine
JS, Zambia 2015

Glen was very organised and knowledgeable. He gave clear directions as to what we would be doing the following day. He has a very calm and friendly manner. He has extremely good hearing and the ability to both hear the birds and point them out. He was very helpful to assist me when I did not see where the bird was. I would certainly like to travel with him again.

Gregory de Klerk
TH - Zambia 2019

Greg de Klerk could not have done more, he was very good particularly when I lost my luggage and I just couldn’t make a lot of decisions that needed to be made particularly in the limited time available for shopping and he helped me through that.

Daniel Danckwerts
RB, Zambia 2018

Daniel Danckwerts is a fine young guide, excellent and devoted birder, and can get people onto the specials - he is very personable, always optimistic and constantly professional, working to get the most possible out of the trip.

Gregory de Klerk
PL - Zambia 2019

I enjoyed the trip… a nice mix of birds and other animals. Greg de Klerk did a great job. I hope there will be another trip that I can travel with him.

Gregory de Klerk
RA & MA, Zambia

Greg is an excellent birder and worked hard to find as many species as possible, and also to make sure that everyone saw them. He was very genial company and took great care of everyone.
