What to do in Luambe

Luambe is simply made for a walking safari, be it an active morning leg stretch or a gentle afternoon stroll. When you step off the vehicle, it’s time to learn about the smaller creatures of the bush, the way they interact and what happens behind the scenes. And believe us, there’s a lot to learn and it’s endlessly fascinating.

Unlike the activities allowed in many national parks across the continent, night safaris are permitted in Zambia and provide a fabulous opportunity to spot some of the more elusive nocturnal creatures. In Luambe, night drives continue for a couple of hours after sundowners, and you should keep your eyes peeled for porcupine, honey badgers, serval and even the well-camouflaged leopard.

Birdwatching in Luambe is a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon. Embark on a proper birding safari (on wheels or on foot) with one of the expert guides, and tick off everything from African fish-eagles to vivid Lilian’s lovebirds, or get comfortable in camp and watch our feathered friends straight from the veranda. Time your visit for September or October to visit the large colonies of carmine bee-eaters creating a storm of colourful activity along the banks of the Luangwa – magical.
