South Luangwa National Park is one of the best kept secrets in Africa. Remote and wild,
this 9050 square kilometers of pristine wilderness is home to some of the most
varied and abundant wildlife the safari traveler could ever hope to find and is fast
gaining a reputation as one of the premium safari destinations on the continent.

Safaris have been conducted in the Luangwa Valley since the 1950’s, with the legendary conservationist
Norman Carr pioneering walking safaris in this Park. Because of its remote location in Eastern Zambia
however, South Luangwa never gained the fame of other safari destinations in Africa. And so for
decades the valley has been home to high quality safari operators, blessed with a tradition of
extremely high guiding and service standards

For several years, Chachacha Safaris have been conducting tours to the South Luangwa National Park designed

to suit travelers with a more modest budget. Now being operated as a separate safari company, this
safari is unique in combining excellent walks, game drives and other activities at the lowest price
available, while also providing transfers to and from Chipata. Chipata is the capital of the Eastern Province
and is on the main border with Malawi. All you have to do is hop on a bus there, about 8 hours from Lusaka,
or 4 from Lilongwe, spend the night at one of many comfortable lodges, such as Dean’s or Mama Rulas
and next day you are on safari!
