A Walking Safari in Zambia

The Ultimate Safari Experience

Walking safaris were pioneered in South Luangwa national park and for many guests provide the ultimate safari experience. The terrain in the park is ideal for walking due to the constantly changing habitat. On a walk you will experience riverine forest, open plains, dambos and lagoons, Mopane woodland, thickets and grasslands. A typical walking safari lasts 3.5 hours, but is not strenuous as the ground is even and generally flat. A morning walking safari might cover a total of 5 or 6km of exciting, discovery filled exercise.
