South Luangwa Walking Safari — Africa's Original Bush Walk
The birthplace of the walking safari — track big game on foot with expert scouts
Tour Overview
South Luangwa National Park is where the walking safari was born in the 1950s — and it remains the finest bush walking destination in Africa. This 5-day experience combines game drives with guided walks through the bush, accompanied by armed scouts and expert naturalist guides. Track leopards through riverine forest, approach elephants on foot, read lion spoor in the sand, and learn to interpret the African bush at ground level. This is safari at its most intimate and authentic.
