Unspoiled and pure
A walking safari is considered the purest and most impressive type of safari. It’s hard to imagine a more intense connection with nature. For this unique walking safari, you’ll head to the most unspoiled part of South Luangwa National Park. Accompanied by an armed guide, you’ll venture into the wilderness. You’ll now be able to spot details that you’d miss while sitting in a 4WD! Since you’re leaving the “protection” of the vehicle behind, you won’t get very close to the wild animals. But the experienced guide certainly knows how to find the tracks of these wild animals!
The Big Five, impalas, and giraffes.
Nature is unpredictable; the thrill of a walking safari lies mainly in the chance of a “close encounter” with one of the “Big Five.” Animal species you’re almost certain to see during your stay in this park include: buffalo, elephants, puku antelopes, impalas, waterbucks, giraffes, zebras, spotted hyenas, and lions. For the experienced traveler to Africa, this is a trip to make your mouth water.
