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.

Expect the unexpected

MANA POOLS ZIMBABWE

Unique and far from the madding crowd, Mana Pools National Park scenery is awesome.  A walking safari in Mana will introduce you to more than 100 species of wildlife and 450 species of birds.
But a walking safari is more than just getting up really close to Mana’s legendary elephants and buffalo herds. 

It’s an opportunity to slow the pace, test your knowledge of trees and birds and find out more about all the smaller creatures that inhabit this magical place.

HWANGE NATIONAL PARK 

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.
