Day four of a Luangwa Valley traverse runs south through Chama’s remote villages into North Luangwa — a park so untouched we were the first vehicle on some loops this year.
Most safari itineraries take you to one park. This one takes you through four — from a border-crossing stopover and a dilapidated colonial-era castle, through the remote, rarely-visited stretches of North Luangwa and Luambe, to leopard, lion, and wild dog sightings on the riverbank in South Luangwa. Twelve nights, mobile camping, the honest version of the valley.
