Night drive (4 hours)

A night drive in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia offers a unique opportunity to witness the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. During the night, the park transforms into a different world with intense sounds and activity from nocturnal animals like leopards and bushbabies. Visitors sit in an open-top vehicle equipped with powerful lights to spot and admire the animals in their natural habitat. Guides point out features of interest and explain the behavior of the wildlife. The stillness of the night is often broken by the calls of hyenas, the rustling of leaves, and the distant roar of lions. The park's towering trees cast long shadows in the vehicle's headlights, creating a stunning atmosphere. The night drive offers a chance to see animals like elephants, buffalos, and predators that are often more elusive during the day. A night drive in South Luangwa National Park is a thrilling and unforgettable experience. Enjoy your own guide and private vehicle with complete freedom. Our safaris are 100% private. We collect clients from all lodges in and within Mfuwe. You will be collected at your Lodge between 15:45 & 16:00 pm. After 2 hours safari we will have our sundowner at a nice spot along the Luangwa River or lagoons. The drive will continue until 20:00, when guests will be returned to the lodge.
