Welcome to
Jackalberry Safaris
The Luangwa
Valley, Zambia
The
South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa's best-kept secrets.
Remote and wild, this 9050 square kilometres of pristine wilderness is
home to some of the most varied and abundant wildlife the safari
traveller could ever hope to find. Safaris have been conducted in the
Luangwa Valley since the 1950s, when the legendary conservationist
Norman Carr pioneered walking safaris in the Park. Today, South Luangwa
is fast gaining a reputation as one of the premium safari destinations
on the continent. While the relative inaccessibility of the Park has
undoubtedly been its saviour, it has also meant that safaris to this
destination have for many years proved simply too expensive or too
difficult for many travellers to undertake. At Jackalberry Safaris we
are proud to offer quality safaris at affordable prices, while our
'small is beautiful' ethos motivates us to be as low-impact as possible.
Jackalberry Safaris
For
several years, Chachacha Safaris have been conducting tours to the
South Luangwa National Park designed to suit travellers with a more
modest budget. In 2007 Jackalberry Safaris proudly began operating as a
separate safari company, retaining the ChaChaCha mission to provide
independent travellers with quality safaris at low prices. Because we
are a small company and wish to remain so, we conduct tours with a
maximum of 12 guests. This means that all our clients receive a
personalised safari experience, rather than getting "lost in the crowd"
which can sometimes happen at the larger lodges. We have also worked
hard to preserve the original ChaChaCha itinerary which offers a truly
unique safari experience, different to any other package currently
available in the South Luangwa National Park. As such, Jackalberry
Safaris combine walking safaris, game drives, cultural activities,
comfortable accommodation and delicious food while also providing
transfers to and from Chipata. Chipata is the capital of the Zambia's
Eastern Province and regarded as 'the Gateway to South Luangwa'. In
fact, all you have to do is hop on a bus to Chipata, spend the night at
one of the town's comfortable lodges and the next day, you're on
safari!
