Le parc national de North Luangwa est une version sauvage et isolée du parc de South Luangwa, accessible uniquement par avion ou en véhicule tout-terrain pendant la saison sèche. Les safaris à pied sont l'activité principale ici, offrant la possibilité d'observer des troupeaux exceptionnels de buffles (4 000 à 5 000 animaux), des lions, des léopards et des éléphants, le tout dans un paysage préservé et peu fréquenté. Très peu de campements sont situés à l'intérieur du parc, ce qui en fait l'une des destinations les plus exclusives d'Afrique.
