Zambia Safari

Zambia is the home of the modern walking safari and without doubt offers some of Africa's best traditional walking safaris, particularly in the Luangwa Valley. The modern-day "walking safari" is a loose term used to describe a variety of safari activities including:

"Wilderness trails",

"Backed up" walking safaris and

“Trails from fixed bases” (tented camps, seasonal bushcamps and lodges)

In Zambia all guides have to be properly trained and are regulated.You will be escorted by a qualified guide who will enhance your safari and bush experience. All Zambian National Parks allow night drives, which enable you to view different nocturnal animals like the leopard and the porcupine.

Zambia Safari Information

Questions we are often asked in preparing for a safari in Zambia.

How do we get around on a Zambia safari?

Due to the area and the size of some of the parks the best way to get from park to park is by light aircraft.

Most of the camps in the parks are small and as a result can tailor-make your stay.

What type of Safari do I choose -  a walking or driving safari?

Most camps offer both walking and 4x4 safaris. Where the camp is close to the river you can enjoy boat safaris, canoeing and fishing. Luangwa camp only offers walking safaris

What is a walking safari like in Zambia ?

You will find a walking safari an exhilarating and amazing experience. You will start your walk with a guide, an armed game scout and normally a tea-bearer carrying refreshments. Groups are normally small with a maximum of seven.

A walking safari’s is not route march - it is at a sedate and comfortable pace. The guide will often stop to point out interesting facts about the area and it's flora and fauna.

As the ground that you will be walking on can be uneven it is recommended that you wear comfortable and sturdy hiking boots. Clothing should be neutral coloured.
