South Luangwa is Zambia’s best protected area in terms of the diversity and density of species it supports. The Luangwa River is its lifeblood. Along its course you will see pods of hippos and plenty of crocodiles. It flows all year but in the dry season it is the numerous ox-bow lakes where wildlife viewing is at its best. On the wide open plains impala, puku, bushbuck, kudu, Roan antelope, hartebeest, reedbuck, Cookson’s wildebeest, waterbuck, Thornicroft’s giraffe, Crawshay’s zebra and buffalo graze, and prides of lions and packs of wild dogs hunt. Leopards, of which there are many, mainly hunt in the dense woodland and herds of elephants wade through the marshes. The birdlife is also tremendous with over 400 species to look for.
