Trail Overview
The Luangwa Wilderness Trail is the first of its kind to be offered in the Luangwa Valley.
The ultimate immersive safari experience – a wilderness trail allows you to truly engage with the untamed wilderness, diverging from the conventional role of a voyeur in a vehicle. Disconnect from the relentless stresses of the modern world and rediscover your senses, soul and primordial roots through this transformative wilderness journey.

Switch off the schedule
The Luangwa Wilderness trail is defined by its simplicity.
Participants carry everything they need for the multi-day walking safari with them in a backpack. With a typical duration of 3 nights, the pace of each trail is unique to the capabilities and interests of the trail group – with the intensity of the sun and water availability being the only governing elements. Days are spent exploring the wonders of nature with an experienced guide/facilitator and National Park’s Scout. Nights are spent under the stars, as each participant takes their turn to relish the solitary serenity that comes with night watch. With no fixed infrastructure, camps or tents, each walking route is unique with no group following the same path as the next.
