Wilderness Safaris’ newest camp is in the South Luangwa National Park. It is here that walking safaris were pioneered in the 1950s and the variety of habitats, from the cool hills of the Muchinga Escarpment to the spectacular oxbow lagoons and open sandbanks of the Luangwa River, support one of the most diverse and concentrated populations of wild animals in the world. Wilderness Safaris’ new Kalamu Tented Camp is situated in the Luamfwa area in the southern section of the South Luangwa. One of the most remote areas in the Park, the Luamfwa is a true wilderness location, with incredible species diversity and endemics such as the Thornicroft’s giraffe. Kalamu is a traditional Zambian Classic camp, accommodating six guests and located on the banks of the South Luangwa River. South Luangwa is considered the premier walking destination in southern Africa, so walking safaris are a must here. A private airstrip ensures easy access.
