Walking Safaris

Closer to Nature

Do you want to experience the thrill of walking in the bush, spotting the predators and the prey while you walk on the same ground as they do? There really is nothing like it - feeling the adrenalin as you watch a lion kill an antelope, getting closer than you have ever been before, sleeping under the stars, listening to the sounds of the bush from your cosy tent.

Types of Walking Safari

There are different types of walking safaris you can take part in:

• Full participation mobile camping walking safaris – you carry a share of the equipment and provisions in backpacks. You’re in a small group with an armed professional guide. Usually, you will travel for 2-6 days. Use your bush skills!
• Assisted walking trails - walking between semi-permanent camps. You won’t have to carry your things on your back, but you still have all the excitement of walking in the bush in a small group (up to 6). If you like your creature comforts, this is for you.
• Day walks from a fixed base . Many lodges and camps offer day walks, often starting very early in the morning – to see the game in the most active part of the day. They are flexible and are a great taster.

Walking safaris first became popular in Zambia, but now there are many more destinations where it is possible, including:

• Zambezi Valley – both Zimbabwe and Zambia sides
• Selinda Reserve, Linyanti River area, Botswana
• Luangwa Valley, Zambia
• Kafue National Park, Zambia
• Okovango Delta, Botswana
• Kruger National Park, South Africa
• Phinda Private Game Reserve, Natal, South Africa
