					South Luangwa National Park South Luangwa, at over 9,000 sq km's, is in this writers opinion, one of the "must see" parks in Zambia. With a huge density of wildlife and a more remote location, you get the animal viewing opportunities - without the crowds. Both North Luangwa and South Luangwa lie between the western bank of the Luangwa River and the striking Muchinga escarpment, and share much of the same ecosystems.
