Remote wilderness with the wildlife to prove it

North Luangwa

North Luangwa National Park sees far fewer visitors than its sister to the south, which is great for privacy and feeling like you’re in the wild, but animals can be shy. North Luangwa National Park sees far fewer visitors than its sister to the south, which is great for privacy and feeling like you’re in the wild, but animals can be shy.
Why the North Luangwa?
When wildlife isn’t accustomed to the sounds of engines and human voices, animals can be more difficult to spot. It’s worth the effort, though – visit North Luangwa and you’ll understand what makes this park so special. It feels very remote, with the Mwaleshi River flowing east to west and all manner of wildlife possible to see at any moment.

It’s especially magical for an all-day walking safari, which is actually the norm here due to the lack of roads. Setting out for a few hours on foot makes it possible to see the Big Five – including rhino and even African wild dog. If it feels like you’ve got the North Luangwa all to yourself, well, you probably do!
  • Incredibly remote.
  • Possible to see the Big Five thanks to reintroduced rhino.
  • African wild dog and big cats are also present.
  • Exclusively for walking safaris.
  • Wildlife may be shy due to lack of habituation to people.
