Walking Safaris
Walking Safaris allow travelers to experience Africa in a completely different way from traditional vehicle based safaris. Each walk becomes a unique experience as you learn about your surroundings from your expert guide while tracking and viewing animals at a safe distance.
We work with several operators that offer Walking Safaris. The length, location, and itinerary of each Walking Safari can vary, so please contact us to plan a trip that works for you. Walking Safaris can also be added to many trips as extensions.
Here are some links to webpages created by one of our tour operators:
Typical Day on a Walking Safari:
Today we rise early and enjoy a hearty breakfast before beginning a walking safari with our guide and scouts. We walk through the magnificent untouched African bush of South Luangwa National Park, joining birds and other animals in their natural habitat. We have the opportunity to not only see the wonders of the African bush, but to feel, smell, hear and touch the ancient continent in its most unspoilt state. Our walk takes us to a bushcamp, set beneath Mahogany trees on the edge of a small plain.
The bushcamp consists of four reed and thatch chalets with private bathrooms. Each chalet has two queen beds with large mosquito nets and an individual rechargeable lighting system. The rustic dining area and fully stocked bar are constructed on raised decking with views of Bilimungwe’s permanent water hole and the abundant game that it attracts. The thatched canopy provides a cool and comfortable environment from which to enjoy this idyllic setting.
By afternoon we are off again, this time on a safari drive that takes us into the evening hours. Watch for leopard, hyena, civet and genet as night falls. We return to camp for a sundowner and a delicious meal in the dining area which is set beneath ancient ebony trees.
