Camera shy: South Luangwa is one of the best parks in Africa for good sightings of leopards

MOST NOTABLE WILDLIFE DESTINATIONS Most popular is South Luangwa, which offers excellent all-round wildlife viewing and expertly guided walking safaris. Even better, in my opinion, is Lower Zambezi, where you can canoe or boat along southern Africa’s largest and wildest river, enjoying a passing parade of yawning hippos, colourful birds and foraging buffalos and elephants. Other major safari destinations include Kafue and North Luangwa national parks.
