North Luangwa National Park

Getting There

Expert

Philip is our Zambia expert and author of more than 20 guidebooks to Africa.

Most visitors arrive in the country at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), Zambia’s main airport, located 14km/9mi from the capital, Lusaka. Domestic flights operate from here to Mfuwe International Airport (MFU), near the main gate of South Luangwa National Park.

Most people visit North Luangwa National Park as an add-on walking safari to South Luangwa and fly between the two parks.

There are few roads in the park, but self-drive visitors can drive from South Luangwa via Luambe National Park to North Luangwa (or vice versa). A new game-drive track along the Luangwa River and several basic self-catering community camps and campsites have opened up the park to adventurous 4x4 enthusiasts.
