1) Highly accessible (English is the main language), prices are affordable, the local transit (while a little chaotic) is easily utilized, locals are generally friendly and helpful
2) Safe, there was never any sense of risk that I experienced in Lusaka, Livingstone, Kasanka or Mfuwe. Police are corrupt but not so much so that I had to pay for, or herd of people being harassed for bribes.
3) Amazing sights and activities, my personal highlights included swimming at the edge of Victoria Falls, while little fish nibbled the dead skin off my body like some Vietnamese spa, watching up to 10,000,000 fruits bats take off from the canopy in Kasanka National Park, rafting down the Zambezi and a seemingly endless number of great sights in South Luangwa.

South Luangwa was an excellent choice. We stayed at Kafunta River Lodge which was very nice. They have a photo hide which nobody else was using so it was my own private retreat where I got some great photos of the animals at the watering hole. The game drives in the park were led by excellent guide trackers. We saw lions and at least 7 different leopards, in addition to the elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, etc. We also saw quite a few birds, including the bee eater. No need to trek from place to place every other day when you can see so much right here. Highly recommended.

Wildlife and birds are exiting. We saw a lot.
Camp site was also exiting, so close to wildlife and unexpectedly clean and comfortable.
Food was also nice, thanks to our nice guide, Daniel who knows a lot about nature.

We used Luciano Tours and Travels to book our vacation and everything was fantastic. They were even able to help with some immigration issues and were very good about checking in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. Zambia is a beautiful country, Livingstone and the Falls is always a pleasure and cannot say enough good things about South Luangwa national park. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Zambia

Zambia is a country that I had not ventured but perhaps I was saving it to understand it’s beauty after having visited many of the more frequented African countries.

The Zambezi River is a phenomenal place to get close to wildlife via canoe or motorboat. Watching a family of elephants swim across the river was special as was experiencing hippos so close. Don’t leave Zambia off your bucket list-you will be sorry!!

We traveled through East Africa and reached Zambia at the end of our trip,. I didn’t know much about this country, read a bit and checked the level of safety for travellers. I fell in love with Zambia, a very safe destination, apart from Lusaka where there is not much to do from a tourist point of view the parks are amazing, the Lower Zambezi National park became the highlight, Kafue the same. Very easy to use public transport, very affordable in comparison to Botswana and Zimbabwe. We will be back to explore more.

Great quick stay at South Luangwa National Park

This was a mother-daughter trip to South Luangwa National Park. We flew from Lusaka to Mfuwe, where the lodge picked us up. The Msandile Lodge was great, as it was directly across the river from the National Park, we could see the monkeys, hippos, elephants, etc. when they went to the river to drink and play. The food was EXCELLENT, staff super nice and helpful, and they really made us feel special.

The location was great, and we enjoyed being completely disconnected from the modern world. There was no internet, no tv, no air conditioning (good, but also bad at times lol), and almost no cell reception. So we really disconnected from everything for a few days.

The safari guides were great and very knowledgeable. The animals are not tagged (which we prefer), so you really count on luck and guides helping each other to get to see the animals. But we were able to find them all! Hippos, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, lions, elephants, leopards, etc. All in their
Read more natural elements. I've been on safari before in major parks (Chobe, Etosha, etc), but my mother had not. This had a different feel than the bigger parks as South Luangwa is still a bit undiscovered, and I think it was a good medium for my mom to experience her first safari.
