South Luangwa National Park in Mfuwe, Zambia, is one of Africa's premier safari destinations. Renowned for its rich biodiversity, the park spans over 9,000 square kilometers and is teeming with wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and a variety of antelope species. The Luangwa River, which runs through the park, is a lifeline for the area's flora and fauna, especially during the dry season when animals congregate around its waters. Visitors to the park can enjoy a range of activities, from traditional game drives to walking safaris, which were pioneered in this very park.
