Spanning 9,050 km², South Luangwa is home to a significant concentration of wildlife. It is bounded by the Luangwa River to the east and by the Muchinga Escarpment to the west. Classified as a nature reserve in 1938, the region became a national park in 1971.
Several villages and wildlife management areas border the Luangwa River, around which different communities live, notably the Kunda, present in the Mfuwe region for several centuries. The river, whose name means "fishing net", welcomes a large population of hippopotamuses.
With more than 60 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds, as well as several endemic species such as the Thornicroft's giraffe, South Luangwa is also recognized for leopard viewing and for its pioneering role in walking safaris.

The tourist visa is generally granted for a stay of up to 30 days, with the possibility of extension through the Zambian Immigration Department. Visas of 90 days may be issued in certain cases.

an exit ticket from the territory (return or onward flight),
proof of sufficient financial resources for the duration of the stay,
an accommodation reservation.
