In the afternoon, you'll set out on your first game drive, exploring the park’s rich landscapes and abundant wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, and big cats as the light softens.

Day 2
Day 2 starts with an early morning game drive, when wildlife is most active, and the cool air offers excellent viewing. Watch predators returning from the hunt and herds gathering along the river. You'll return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, then enjoy time to relax, perhaps by the pool or overlooking the bush. Lunch is served at the lodge, followed by a restful afternoon. Later, you'll head out on another afternoon game drive to explore different areas of the park and spot more wildlife as the sun sets. You'll end the day with dinner at the lodge, sharing stories of the day’s sightings around the fire. Mid-range lodge located just outside South Luangwa NP All meals included Drinks not included
Day 3
Day 3 begins with an early morning game drive, offering another chance to experience South Luangwa at its most alive. As the sun rises, track wildlife moving through the plains and along the riverbanks, guided by expert rangers. You'll return to the lodge for a leisurely breakfast, then spend the late morning unwinding and taking in the peaceful surroundings. After a relaxed lunch, you will enjoy some quiet time before heading out on a late afternoon game drive, when golden light and cooler temperatures bring the bush to life once more. The day concludes with a memorable dinner at the lodge, the perfect end to a classic safari day. Mid-range lodge located just outside South Luangwa NP All meals included Drinks not included

Bruce · Nicaragua
I had a 12-Day safari & cultural journey in Malawi and South Luangwa (Zambia) with remarkable experience & memories. I visited three national parks: MAJETE, LIWONDE, and LUANGWA. My itinerary started from Blantyre via Lilongwe to South Luangwa before getting back to Lilongwe for my inbound flight. The full-board quote was indeed designed and tailored according to my interest. The program contained detailed information one may need. All transports, incl. airport transfers, were taken care using a private car with Chikondi as a skilled driver. She always showed up according to the plan. Chikondi was informative and flexible to provide answer to my numerous questions & curiousness about the society, culture, nature, etc. during many hours of our road transport. All the accommodations (Thawale Lodge, Huntingdon House, Zomba Forest Lodge, Latitude Hotel, Flatdogs Camp, and Lilongwe Quest lodges and safaris) were of great standards with professional services. Except Kutchire Lodge in Liwonde National Park which is to consider as a “very-low-budget” lodge. Nearly everything was in poor condition with low value. But all the staffs were friendly and tried their best. However, that didn’t overshadow my overall experience through the entire journey in Malawi & Zambia.
Zia · Norway
We had a fantastic trip to Malawi. Chikondi was an excellent guide. She was flexible to all our last minute changes and suggested extra excursions when we had a bit of spare time. I would highly recommend Quest Lodges and Safari.
Heidi · Canada
Although we are used to travel individually and organize our trips by ourselves, we experienced very valuable help and support from Quest. They organised car, driver, and accommodation for our 14 day tour to Malawi. Very reliable, great help when we had to change our itinerary last minute due to the fuel crisis. Strongly recommended, good value for money.
