Overview

This 7-day trip is part of our Trips with a Purpose programme, and it takes you through Zambia’s famed South Luangwa National Park while actively participating in community initiatives.

The park, which is regarded as one of the top wildlife sanctuaries in the world, is home to some of Africa’s most concentrated concentrations of species, due to the Luangwa River and its oxbow lagoons.
