South Luangwa National Park

South Luangwa National Park has been called one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries anywhere in the world, and the concentration of game around the Luangwa River and its oxbow lagoons makes a strong case for the title. It is also widely credited as the birthplace of the walking safari, and on-foot game viewing here still feels like the most authentic way to experience the bush. Leopard sightings in particular are exceptional, with South Luangwa long considered one of the best places in Africa to find them.
