The walking safari as a concept was basically invented here, leopards more relaxed about an audience than anywhere else in Africa, and a night drive that turns the bush into something else entirely.
The best time to visit South Luangwa National Park is May–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (80°F).
