Luambe National Park
Getting There
Zambia Parks
Philip has traveled through Zambia several times and is the author of more than 20 guidebooks to various African destinations.
Luambe National Park is located 140km/86mi from Mfuwe, the village at the entrance to South Luangwa National Park. Most people fly into Mfuwe International Airport (MFU). Luambe Camp, the only accommodation in Luambe, can organize a transfer from Mfuwe airport or any lodge in the Mfuwe area. The drive takes about 4 hours*. There is also an airstrip for charter flights.
It’s likely you’ll enter the country by air via Zambia’s main airport, Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), located 14km/9mi from the capital, Lusaka. From there you can catch a flight to Mfuwe.
Self-drive visitors with good 4x4s can visit too. Even if not overnighting in the park, you’ll pass through Luambe when driving between South and North Luangwa National Parks.
*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
