The South Luangwa in Zambia is probably the best place in the world to see leopard in the wild. The habitat here is a leopard’s paradise and as such they live here in abundance, and have become accustomed to the vehicles that take guests on luxury safaris. The South Luangwa has become a little busy in certain areas which is why we’d like to draw attention to the following luxury South Luangwa safari camps which still offer an off the beaten track luxury experience with fantastic game viewing. The South Luangwa will remain one of the most beautiful and magical safari locations in Africa, here are our top five luxury remote South Luangwa camps: Tena Tena Tena Tena is run by famous safari company Robin Pope Safaris and a safari here will certainly not disappoint – the guides and staff are the best in the business and it’s location in it’s own private Nsefu Sector ensures that you will not see another soul.
