Country Zambia
Region Southern Africa
Best Time Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct
Der Nationalpark North Luangwa ist die abgelegene und unberührte Schwester des Nationalparks South Luangwa – er ist nur in der Trockenzeit mit Flugzeug oder einem Geländewagen erreichbar. Hier stehen hauptsächlich Wander-Safaris im Vordergrund, wobei man außergewöhnliche Büffelherden (4.000–5.000 Tiere), Löwenrudel, Leoparden und Elefanten in einer unberührten und wenig frequentierten Landschaft beobachten kann. Nur sehr wenige Camps sind innerhalb des Parks eingerichtet, was ihn zu einem der exklusivsten Wildnisgebiete Afrikas macht.
