South Luangwa National Park, in the Eastern province of Zambia, is one of the most wildlife-rich national parks in the country.

Nicknamed the Valley of Leopards, the main predators here are leopard, lion, spotted hyena and wild dog – with the leopard and wild dog populations being amongst the densest on the continent.

The park is home to more than 400 species of birds and over 60 different mammals, including antelopes, lions, elephants and more.

South Luangwa is the only place in the world to see the Thornicroft species of giraffe as well as the Cookson’s wildebeest.
