African Walking Safaris
Walking safaris in South Luangwa, Hwange and Matusadona National Park.
These trails will offer you a multi sensory safari experience.
Each day on safari brings new experiences and discoveries; an all day, every day, adventure in the wild.
It’s an early morning start as you start your walking safari in remote and wild regions.
Walking in single file, listen carefully to your guide. He is there to protect you.
Next listen to the bush – it is telling you something. Was that a lion calling? Why are the birds behaving crazy ? What is that spoor?
Never lose sight of the fact that you are walking in their home territory.
It’s 1950 and the Paramount Chief in the Luangwa, chief Nsefu, is encouraged to partition some of the tribal land as a game reserve.
This was done with the encouragement of Norman Carr, one of the original founders of the walking safari.
His dream and vision was to secure land for the future of this very unique wilderness area.
Today the Luangwa valley is a premier destination for walking safaris.

Hwange is another destination perfectly suited for walking safaris. Walk where the Big 5 roam. Hwange lies on the eastern edge of the Kalahari desert, giving the park a flat, arid, thornscrub character. Low hills, scattered rocky outcrops and water courses dominate the northern areas.
Birdlife is excellent with more than 420 species including Bradfields Hornbills, Meyers Parrot, White crowned and long tailed shrikes.
Walking in the wilderness is the ultimate safari experience
