In the 1950s, legendary guide Norman Carr pioneered walking safaris in the great tract of wilderness that is now the South Luangwa National Park. A tireless conservationist who dedicated 50 years to developing the park, he understood the appeal of exploring the bush on foot rather than by vehicle. His legacy lives on with Norman Carr Safaris, a highly regarded outfit which operates in the park with five camps set up in remote and secluded areas. These small and rustically stylish camps include Mchenja and Nsolo Bushcamps, both of which lie in the seldom visited north of the national park. Tucked into glades of ebony trees and overlooking a sweeping bend in the Luangwa River, Mchenja Bushcamp takes bush luxury to new levels in Zambia. Five thatched tents have en suite open air bathrooms and Victorian claw baths, while a small pool alongside the main lodge is a cooling refuge during the heat of the day. Located on the banks of the Luwi River, with stunning views over a waterhole, Nsolo Bushcamp is a romantic thatched camp of four raised en suite open-fronted rooms, that incorporate as many of the natural features of the location as possible. At each camp the emphasis is on the timeless peace that comes with living in truly wild places. Undoubtedly, South Luangwa and Norman Carr are famed for walking safaris; however 4x4 game drives are available too and prove an excellent way of observing the great variety of game in the park.
