Bird Watching
The South Luangwa is a birder's valley — from carmine bee-eaters on the riverbanks to giant eagle-owls in the ebony groves.
More than 400 species have been recorded in the park, and the seasons repaint the valley constantly: carmine bee-eater colonies explode from the riverbanks in spring, storks and cranes work the lagoons as they shrink, and raptors patrol the miombo year-round.
Guides tailor birding drives and walks to your level of obsession — from a gentle interest to a serious list. Binoculars and reference guides are always aboard.
