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.
North Luangwa: The Wild One
A Castle in the Bush: Zambia’s Dilapidated Colonial Curiosity
Day three of a Luangwa Valley traverse trades wildlife for farmland, a punishing stretch of clay road, and a night in a genuinely strange piece of Zambian history — a dilapidated colonial-era castle that’s not for the faint-hearted.

Feira, Zambia: Day Two of a Luangwa Valley Safari
Before the parks and the predators, a Luangwa Valley traverse starts with an escarpment drive, a border-post overnight, and a detour to Zambia’s oldest trading post — a quiet, sobering stop most visitors never hear about.
Twelve Nights Through the Luangwa Valley: A Full Traverse
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.

South Luangwa Safari: From Zambia’s Great East Road to the Heart of the Wild
From the bustling Great East Road to the wild landscapes of South Luangwa National Park, this safari journey captures the essence of Zambia. Experience village life, dramatic escarpment views, encounters with baboons and monkeys on the road into the valley, and unforgettable wildlife sightings including lions, elephants, hippos, and leopards in one of Africa’s last great wilderness areas.
First Safari of the Season: The Return to the Bush
Four nights, two remote camps, and no crowds — just the raw wilderness of Kafue. Our first safari of the season took us deep into Kasabushi and Musungwa with fully serviced mobile camping, where a pack of 13 African wild dogs, sable antelope, elephants, and intimate moments like a tiny baby puku defined the experience. No lions, no leopards — just a reminder that the best safaris aren’t about ticking boxes, but about immersion, atmosphere, and truly wild encounters.
