Located in a relatively isolated region between the Great Plains and the desert Kalahari, The valley remained confined to the traditional routes and passenger touristsAnd preserves one of the last bastions where African safaris are conducted on foot, in a tradition that has lasted for decades: The Luangwa River is one of the main tributaries of Zambezi. The river is the life magnet Luangwa Valley, one of the last untouched landscapes of Africa, Home of incredible number and variety of wildlife species . Located northeast of ZambiaAt an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level , the valley has been declared a reservation near the border with Tanzania and Malawi.
