North Luanwa Walking Safari

Our specialist says:

Zambia is the home of the walking safari and this trip gets you off the beaten track in the South and North Luangwa National Parks to explore on foot. Enjoy this intimate and immersive safari experience in the company of some of the finest guides that the continent has to offer.

The chance to get off the vehicle and enjoy full days on walking safaris is one of the great attractions of a visit to Zambia. The remote northern part of the South Luangwa National Park, as well as its neighbouring North Luangwa National Park have a tiny handful of camps, operated by intrepid guides who make the walking experience a truly remarkable one.

Start off with a night in a safari style camp on the outskirts of Lusaka where you will have the chance to relax after your flights and prepare for the adventure that awaits you in the bush. From Lusaka fly up to Mfuwe and enjoy a leisurely game drive transfer through the park to your first camp, a remote but beautiful spot on the banks of the Luangwa River where you will be able to enjoy all manner of activities in the most beautiful setting imaginable. From there you will continue on foot to a remote bush camp deep in the South Luangwa where the focus is on walking safaris and a truly immersive bush experience. Dine under the stars, sleep in open-fronted reed-built rooms and enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush all around you. There can be few more tranquil spots in the whole park and it is a truly amazing place to spend a few nights. A scenic flight will take you from the South to the North Luangwa National Park, a beautiful part of the country which is only visited by a handful of people every year. Here you can enjoy a wonderfully varied safari with unique wildlife viewing experiences and outstanding guiding. This is a chance to really feel at one with nature and get a feel for how safaris were in times of old.

This incredible safari ticks all of the boxes an ardent safari goer could want to, adventurous, off-the-beaten-track and hosted by great guides. Ideal for those who are looking to enjoy something out of the box and that will create memories to last a lifetime.
