Zambia Remote Walking Safari
This fantastic itinerary combines three different camps in the famous South Luangwa. A walking focused safari with two of the camps only accessible on foot and offer a fantastic bush experience. On foot, biggest herbivores become gentle giants as giraffes and elephants tower over you and buffaloes are now on eye level. The Luangwa’s predators now become the prey as you track lions prints from the night before. It is the realness of the experience, that dash of adrenaline associated with standing downwind of an elephant and catching its unmistakable scent that make walking safaris unforgettable.
