A true nature lover's paradise, Zambia’s South Luangwa will pull at the heartstrings of even the most seasoned safari goer. This honeymoon is a true exploration of this remote wilderness. The South Luangwa has outstanding concentrations of wildlife but is particularly renowned for its world-class predator action, with especially strong sightings of the elusive leopard. Frequently voted one of the best lodges in Africa, your inspirational journey will begin at Mfuwe Lodge, which is famed for having elephants regularly wander through the main lobby in search of fruits from a nearby mango tree. After relaxing at Mfuwe Lodge your journey really begins.
Bush camps, what Zambia is famous for, are designed to give you and your spouse a real, return-to-the-wild experience. Split your time between Kapamba Bushcamp and Chindeni Bush Camp, each offering different visas and surrounding habitats, but both packed with wildlife. When not on walking safaris and game drives, while away an afternoon in one of the wildlife hides or fall asleep in a hammock to the soundtrack of bathing elephant.
