Walking on the Wild Side South Luangwa is a flexible walking safari itinerary in South Luangwa National Park. Tailor made to your preferences around a choice of Time and Tide camps. You dictate the pace, walk as much or as little as you please. With vehicle transfers available between camps as an alternative. You will always be accompanied by a guide and scout when walking. And your luggage will be transferred ahead of you. In addition to your morning walking safari, game drives are also available in the afternoon.
Minimum age for walking is 12 years old, and at the guide’s discretion.
Immerse yourself in the unspoiled wilderness of the South Luangwa. Discovering the diverse tapestry of habitats that make up this exceptional National Park. From tranquil rivers to ancient forests and open pans. It is in the South Luangwa that the legendary Norman Carr pioneered the walking safari and conservation-based tourism in Africa. Zambia’s outstanding reputation of guiding is ever prevalent in the team. Guides offer guests a raw, authentic safari experience and don’t let the finer details in these vast spaces pass you by on a walking safari.
Slow down and move to a different rhythm on safari. Trace animal tracks in the sand. Listen to the song of bird calls from the trees. Envisage the inner workings of a termite mound. Stop and breathe in the wild African air.
