South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is renowned for its high density of leopards and walking safaris. The park is generally accessible but conditions vary seasonally, with the dry season (May to October) offering the best wildlife viewing due to concentrated water sources and thinner vegetation. During the rainy season (November to April), some areas may become inaccessible. While solo travel is possible, a guided visit significantly enhances the experience and safety, providing expert knowledge and tracking skills. The cost of a visit varies greatly depending on accommodation (from budget campsites to luxury lodges) and activities, but expect to spend several hundred to thousands of dollars. A typical visit lasts between 3 to 7 days to fully explore the diverse ecosystems and wildlife. Consider booking well in advance, especially during peak season.
