Zambia, birthplace of the walking safari, is
remote and untamed, and we’ve created an
adventure that’s a match for its wonders.
With our consummate safari guide Jason
Alfonsi, we appreciate the African wilderness
with all our senses—up close and in a magical
way that is impossible in
a vehicle. Tracking game
on foot is always a thrill,
from seeing a family
of elephant taking a mud
bath to watching puku,
waterbuck, kudu, and
impala leaping through
the bush. South Luangwa National Park
is as wild as it gets, but our lodges
and Hemingway-style mobile camps ensure
comfort. Bush walks, night game viewing,
4WD exploration, and magenta sunsets
make this an amazing safari.
Days 1-2 Nkwali Camp, South Luangwa
National Park From Mfuwe, our game drive
brings us to Nkwali Camp, a lovely lodge on the
banks of the Luangwa River and a great setting
for wildlife viewing in prime riverine woodlands.
As the sun sets, a different world awakens and
our evening game drives reveal the nocturnal
world of leopard, lion, and hyena.
Days 3-6 Walking Safari / Luangwa Valley
We’re up at sunrise each day for an exciting
bush walk in the early light of dawn, with the
chance to see elephant, waterbuck, hippo, and
zebra at close quarters, and, with luck, the full
complement of predators. From examining a
bird’s nest to tracking a lion, we’ll get a deeper
understanding of the fascinating bush ecosystem
and how it works—a true experience of Africa
and its wildlife that you can’t get from a vehicle.
Our full-service mobile camps provide wonderful
comfort, from cozy walk-in tents with camp beds
to delicious meals served al fresco.
Days 7-10 Tena Tena Camp In the countryside
around Tena Tena, leopard sightings are frequent
and famous, and the birdwatching is out of this
world. Bush walks and 4WD game drives bring
us along stunning oxbow lakes and through
ebony forests. Depart on Day 10 via Mfuwe.
