Walk where the walking safari began, then drive by spotlight as the Luangwa's leopards start to hunt.
In the Luangwa Valley you leave the vehicle behind. With an expert guide and an armed scout you walk quietly along the river, reading tracks and approaching animals on their terms.
After dark, night drives reveal the valley’s famous leopards, as well as genets, civets and hunting lions.
