Itinerario
Nuestro objetivo no es ofrecer la "clásica" experiencia de safari a pie por la que son famosos los operadores de renombre del valle del Luangwa. Ofrecemos un safari con paseos cortos ocasionales por zonas adecuadas para explorar a pie. La duración y la ubicación de nuestros paseos pueden variar según la época del año y las precipitaciones de la temporada de lluvias anterior y, por supuesto, los distintos lugares en los que nos encontremos.
Los paseos no son extenuantes, pero se requiere una forma física y una salud normales para disfrutar de las excursiones a pie.

Estos días los dedicaremos al avistamiento de animales dentro del Parque Nacional. Exploraremos la zona con nuestro vehículo de avistamiento de animales. Los safaris por el río Luangwa suelen producir avistamientos espectaculares. Las familias de hipopótamos se dan en grandes cantidades en el río, sin parangón en África.
Durante la estación seca (de julio a octubre), muchos canales laterales del río se secan, dejando atrapados a los peces. Esto atrae a muchas especies diferentes de depredadores, como el águila pescadora africana, el chacal y la hiena, por mencionar sólo algunos. Los coloridos abejarucos carmín se ven a menudo posados frente a sus nidos en las orillas del río.
Acampa a orillas del río Luangwa en el Croc Valley Camp o similar. (2x FB).

Temprano por la mañana, recogemos nuestro campamento y nos dirigimos a través de las aldeas tradicionales al sector Nsefu del parque. El PN South Luangwa es conocido por su abundancia de fauna africana: Jirafa de Thorneycroft, Gnu de Cookson, Cebra de Crawshay y grandes manadas de búfalos y elefantes. Por las mañanas haremos safaris a pie a lo largo del río Luangwa, y por la tarde safaris en nuestro vehículo 4x4.
Acamparemos a orillas del río Luangwa en el Campamento Kalovia, reservado exclusivamente para nuestro grupo (2x FB).
A través del PN Luambe al Parque Nacional Luangwa Norte

Recogida y viaje por el Parque Nacional de Luambe hasta el Parque de Luangwa Norte, remoto y salvaje. Haremos un safari a lo largo del río Luangwa con un explorador. Grandes manadas de hipopótamos llaman a esta zona su hogar; desde nuestro campamento se pueden ver elefantes, varias especies de antílopes, así como perros salvajes e incluso leones.

Parque Nacional de Luangwa Norte
Día 8
La etapa de hoy nos lleva desde el caluroso valle del Luangwa hasta la escarpada escarpa (1400 m de altitud). Mientras conducimos, la temperatura se va enfriando y la sabana seca da paso al bosque de Miombo. En la zona norte del parque, montamos nuestro campamento en un camping exclusivo cerca de la Puerta de Mano. Por la tarde daremos un paseo a lo largo del río, y es posible darse un refrescante baño en el arroyo de la montaña.

y 11 Mutinondo WIlderness
Temprano por la mañana nos dirigiremos a nuestra siguiente parada, Mutinondo Wilderness. Enormes "whalebacks" (peñascos de granito) esparcidos entre el bosque de Miombo crean el paisaje único de Mutinondo. Disponemos de un día entero para explorar y disfrutar del ambiente especial de esta zona.

Estos remotos pantanos son únicos en ecología, fauna y flora. El agua cubre enormes extensiones de los pantanos hasta aproximadamente abril de cada año, cuando la línea de flotación retrocede lentamente y las aves acuáticas se congregan para alimentarse en las charcas y canales.
Es aquí donde buscaremos a la esquiva cigüeña picozapato. Esta interesante ave de aspecto extraño se ha vuelto muy rara en la mayor parte de África, pero aquí en Bangweulu son bastante comunes.
Nos desplazamos a pie y en barca (dependiendo del nivel del agua) para encontrar las aves acuáticas, las enormes manadas de antílopes Lechwe y otros animales como el tsessebe (una especie de antílope), la cebra, el búfalo y el chacal de lomo negro.
Las manadas de miles de Lechwe en este paisaje aparentemente interminable, ¡es una experiencia africana inolvidable!
Acampada en el Campamento de Nsobe (2x VP)
Cambio de itinerario para el viaje en octubre: a finales de octubre millones de murciélagos frugívoros llegan al Parque Nacional de Kasanka, por lo que cambiamos el itinerario en consecuencia para poder ver la mayor migración de mamíferos del mundo
