Offers two drives per day (early morning and an evening drive)
Marula Lodge has a team of well qualified tour guides that offer professional services to ensure your holiday is one to remember. A morning game drive will usually last from 3 to 4 hours where you will see close up the amazing animal and bird life that South Luangwa National Park has to offer. After a morning drive, the rest of the day is yours to do as you wish. Have a swim, sit in the shade of a chitenge or drop off to sleep in a hammock. A night drive is not to be missed. The team of expert guides will get you back into the park at around 4PM.
The character of the park begins to change as evening approaches and you will feel the nervous tension of the smaller Puku, Zebra and other potential prey. With such an abundance of animals, it is possible that you will be at the right place at the right time to witness a hunt, chase and perhaps even a deadly strike. Such scenes will leave you breathless yet exhilarated and amazed at the brutal honesty of nature.
Early morning walking safaris with trained guides and a professional armed scout in the park can also be arranged from June to October. (Not suitable for children under 12 years). Marula lodge reviews
