South luangwa
Valley of the leopard
South Luangwa National Park, is one of Africa’s prime wildlife destinations. With its stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife, this is an experience that will leave you with lifelong memories and spectacular photographs.
During the first half of the safari, we will explore the central Mfuwe area, home to an impressive diversity of species. Here, we will witness the incredible sight of herds of elephants, impalas, zebras, and giraffes grazing peacefully in the lush greenery of the park.
We will also have opportunities to spot elusive predators such as lions, leopards, and wild dogs as they hunt and roam through the savannah. The Mfuwe area is also renowned for its birdlife, boasting over 450 species including storks, ibises, and eagles.
For the second half of the safari, we will venture into the Nsefu sector, which is known for its remote and untouched wilderness. This area is home to large herds of buffalo and hippos, as well as puku, kudu, and waterbuck. Additionally, the Nsefu sector is an excellent location for spotting the elusive leopard.
No matter where we go in South Luangwa, the park is a paradise for photographers, providing a wealth of opportunities to capture amazing shots of Africa’s diverse range of wildlife and stunning landscapes.

pristine wilderness
The Bobby-Jo safari experience in South Luangwa, is one of my favourites. South Luangwa National Park has pristine wilderness, diverse ecosystems, and incredible wildlife sightings.
A Bobby-Jo safari promises an authentic and awe-inspiring journey through untamed landscapes, close encounters with remarkable wildlife, and a deep connection to the natural world.
You will encounter the complete range of African animals including lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide range of antelope species.
One of the highlights of Bobby-Jo South Luangwa safaris is the opportunity for night drives. These drives give you a chance to see nocturnal animals, such as leopards, hyenas, genets, and owls, as well as experience the park’s unique atmosphere under the stars.
Bobby-Jo’s expertise together with her team of local guides enhances the experience by providing insights into animal behaviour, tracking skills, and conservation efforts.
The Luangwa River meanders through the park, creating a lush and vibrant ecosystem that attracts a wide array of wildlife throughout the year. The river’s oxbow lagoons, floodplains, woodlands, and open plains provide a stunning landscape backdrop.

Behind the Scenes
“I’ve got a big soft spot for South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. It’s the first place I visited in Africa and we were ridiculously lucky to have many wild dog sightings whilst there. Fun, educational and ethical. These are the things that will also keep us coming back and traveling with Bobby-Jo. She keeps things light-hearted, goes to incredible destinations where I always learn something new and she treats people and animals with the utmost respect”

The Luangwa is the BEST place to photograph Leopard and Wild Dog in all of Africa. You can capture stunning shots of wildlife along the river. You can also experience wildlife such as Hippo and Elephant right outside your room. I have a close connection with the Luangwa after I worked with the wonderful Conservation South Luangwa team in 2017″
