WALKING SAFARIS in ZAMBIA

South Luangwa National Park is definitely one of the best parks in Africa due to its concentration of wildlife. Also known as “Valley of the Leopards” due to regular sightings. This is where the first walking safari in Zambia took place. In 2017, the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) declared that South Luangwa National Park is Africa's first sustainable wildlife park. The big 4 are all in South Luangwa National Park and the Black Rhino is found in North Luangwa National Park (walking safaris only). Kafue National park, Lower Zambezi National Park, and Liuwa Plain home of the second-largest wildebeest migration also offer walking safaris. Zambian parks are remote and unspoiled. They still offer the feel of the original safari experience of days gone by. We can help you find affordable walking safaris to meet your budget.

Guides: Guides from Zambia are some of the best in Africa, and they must go through a rigorous training process.

WORKING ANTS, SPOTTED ON A ZAMBIA WALKING SAFARI

Ants are efficient predators of other insects, which helps to keep insect populations under control. Ants loosen the soil in the same way as earthworms do and improve air and water movement into the Earth.

​LOOK OUT FOR THE SMALL THINGS WHILE YOU WALK

Flocks of guineas kill and eat mice and small rats. In addition, guinea fowl can be used to control insect. Wild guineas eat mainly insects and flocks have been known to attack snakes.

CARPENTER TERMITES WERE SPOTTED ON A WALKING SAFARIS IN ZAMBIA

Carpenter ants clean up pest debris and promote composting of rotting wood. A beneficial insect. Although they do not eat wood as termites do, they seek out and destroy damp or rotting wood in which to make their nests. And they are very good at it.

Things To Do in Walking Safaris

Classic 8-day walking safaris are the perfect way to immerse yourself in the African bush and get up close and personal with the wildlife. You'll sleep in luxury tents in temporary camps in the middle of the bush, and spend your days walking through the wilderness on guided nature walks. These safaris are perfect for those who want to get away from it all and really experience Africa's natural beauty. Bush camps are a great option for those who want to be closer to the action, as they're usually located near popular safari destinations. Here, you'll have the opportunity to take part in a variety of safari activities, including game drives, walking safaris and night drives. And, of course, you'll also be able to relax in your camp after a long day of exploring. A short walk is a great way to get some exercise and see some sights without having to commit to a full-day walk. This short walk is typically an hour or less, and they're a great way to break up the day's activities. Whether you're looking for an adventure or just want to enjoy some time in the bush, there's a walking safari that's perfect for you.

The camps are fully serviced and come with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including beds, hot bucket showers, and small terraces. This is a rare opportunity to get back to the real soul of safari and immerse yourself in the magic of the African bush.
