I can recommend Flatdogs Camp in South Luangwa to the backbackers… Their best kept secrets are two cottages with 2 beds each – they charge just 10 USD for clean bed with the net. Baths are only 30 m away…
For the first game ride into the park (4 hours by car with guide) they charge 30 USD, the second will cost you 25. I addition you will pay 20 USD park entry fee per day… But it is worth!
I took one morning and one night ride – We saw antelopes, zebras, big herds of elephants, hipos, crocodiles, buffalos and more.. also birds…
It was one of the best visits to the park in my life…
Vervet monkeys and baboons operated around my cottage. Keep the dors locked!!!
