One of the most remote and untouched wilderness experiences in Africa, the North Luangwa National Park is a secluded and truly dramatic bush paradise. The park is noted for its massive herds of buffalo, a spectacular sight if seen on the run, kicking up dust for miles behind them. Large prides of lion inhabit the territory and it is not uncommon to witness a kill. Other common mammals are hyena, Cookson’s wildebeest, bushbuck, zebra, warthog, baboon, vervet monkey, puku and impala. Elephant and leopard are also seen, but not as frequently as in the South Luangwa - you are more likely to see hartebeest, reedbuck and eland here. The park boasts an abundance of birdlife, with regular sightings of crowned cranes, purple crested loeries, broad billed rollers, Lilian’s lovebirds, carmine bee-eaters, giant eagle owls and Pel’s fishing owls. There have also been occasional sightings of the rarer bathawk, black coucal and osprey.
