Sanctuary Zebra Plains, South Luangwa
Sanctuary Zebra Plains
Sanctuary Zebra Plains is a brand new luxury lodge focussing entirely on intimate encounters with the wildlife through walking safaris. The unspoilt bush here in South Luangwa makes for a large diversity of habitats, ideal for exploring on foot, in fact this was the location that walking safaris were initially pioneered. The pristine and unspoilt wilderness, alongside a high population of game makes some of the most spectacular walking in Africa.
The lodge is perched on a sandbank at the confluence of the Luangwa and Chibembe Rivers and with just 6 guests allowed at the camp at any time, provides an intimate and peaceful experience.
