In June 2024 we spent four nights in South Luangwa National Park as part of our Great Africa Trip. Below are some of my favourite images from the visit.

TrailCam
We mounted a motion-activated trail camera on the tree opposite our chalet to see what animals visited the camp while we were not around or asleep.  Here you can see some of the animals we captured.
Night Drives
Each evening we would go out on a game drive after dark to look for nocturnal animals. It may not be great for photography, but seeing animals at night adds an extra level of excitement.
