While lacking in the water-based safari activities of our Lower Zambezi lodges Old Mondoro and Chiawa Camp, the safari experiences and activities of the South Luangwa include incredible walking safaris, photographic opportunities from the new hide at Puku Ridge, and the finest game viewing, day and night.

Check out the video for a visual immersion into what's possible on safari with us.

Safari Activity #1
Walking Safaris
The South Luangwa is home of the walking safari in Zambia! You will be kept on your toes as you follow in the footsteps of explorers from the 18th century where the wildlife still roams freely. A sensory safari experience and quite exhilarating. You are on THEIR turf now.

But worry not, you are in the capable hands of an experienced, highly trained safari guide and an armed Government National Parks scout. Track wildlife, from elusive Leopard and African wild dog, to the more easily spotted Puku, Giraffe, and Elephant. Amble gently, taking in the uniquely Zambian sights, scents and sounds, which feel very different when experienced on-foot than in a game vehicle.

Safari Activity #2
Game Drives, Day or Night

The game drive vehicles are custom built 4x4 luxury safari trucks, perfectly outfitted for guests and professional photographers alike.

The game drive is the safest and most effective way to explore this remote landscape and see its incredible wildlife - getting (comfortably) close to the animals yet leaving them undisturbed to go about their business as you simply observe.

Our safari game drive activities typically venture out for a few hours in the morning and again in the late afternoon, culminating in sundowners (a cocktail of your choice and some delicious snacks if you wish) and then returning to camp on a night drive, using filtered red spotlights to enjoy the crepuscular and nocturnal creatures.

Safari Activity #3
The Photographic Hide

Located right underneath the main observation deck at our luxury South Luangwa safari lodge Puku Ridge, is our new photographic hide.

A guest favorite amongst safari experiences, where one can observe (and photograph) wildlife without disturbing them from a very close vantage point. A rather serene and relaxed safari activity, where you can watch the uninhibited behavior of the animals as they make their way to our lodge-front watering hole. As they are unaware of your presence, you can truly take in the setting and scene as a quiet witness, as the wildlife go about their daily bathing and hydration.

Watch a new Elephant calf learning to roll and wallow in the mud, enjoy the constant dance of the Giraffe as it bends and dips for a quick drink, and safely view the more dangerous species such as buffalo and lion as they come for a drink.

Safari Activity #4
Safari Sundowners

It doesn’t get much more African than the traditional safari experience of sundowners in the bush. Our version of ‘happy hour’ out here, is often enjoyed during a break in your evening game drive, as the sun sets.A chilled drink of your choice and a delicious variety of snacks is served against the unforgettable African backdrop.

What Is The South Luangwa National Park Known For?
The South Luangwa is 9,050 square kilometres (in contrast to the North’s 4,636 sq.km) and is colloquially referred to as the “Valley of the Leopard” due to such a high density of this elusive African animal being found in the park.

Where To Stay In The South Luangwa
Chiawa Safaris is proud to offer (so far) one incredible South Luangwa accommodation option. The luxury safari camp, Puku Ridge, is fast becoming one of the most popular luxury lodges to stay at in the South Luangwa – and Zambia as a whole. Puku Ridge, recently awarded by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the 25 Top Resorts in Africa for 2022. , is wilderness refined.
