Eastern Zambia - Zambia

Containing the country’s wilderness gems,  this sparsely populated region with one long highway-the Great East Rd meanders out to the border with Malawi and onto Lilongwe. 

The national parks of the Luangwa Valley complement each other beautifully. South Luangwa is the best in the region for wildlife watching and the most accessible of parks. North Luangwa is wild and difficult to reach. Accessed by private charter flights and spectacular for exploring on foot. 

Splitting the two parks is the lesser visited Luambe National Park, and one to look out for with animal numbers on the rise.
