More Details

Ker & Downey's Zambia walking safari first begins in the original birthplace of the walking safari, in South Luangwa National Park. Your remote accommodations at Time + Tide Luwi are perfectly suited for a walking safari Zambia experience. Indeed, they allow you to view pristine populations of zebra, leopard, lion, and elephants amid the immense scope of the wilderness.

One night of your stay at Luwi Bush Camp will offer an exclusive Return to the Wild overnight Zambia walking safari. As such, you will set out by foot in the afternoon and pitch camp in the Luwi dry riverbed under Africa's spectacular canopy of stars.

Then continue your Zambia walking safari by trekking to the romantic, thatched tents of Time + Tide Nsolo, situated just a three hours' walk from Luwi Camp.

Yet another private and secluded destination, Nsolo consists of only four elegantly appointed huts. What's more, each boasts their own fabulous views of the wildlife magnet waters of the Luwi River.

This is predator territory and a thrilling walking safari Zambia setting. Indeed, dry riverbeds constantly saturate with various lion prides, wild dog dens, and wandering leopards.

For an especially unique activity, embark on a walking safari en route to a nearby village. Here you will be able to meet and interact with the local Zambian people.

Finally, conclude your Zambia walking safari in the remote reaches of Liuwa Plain National Park. This rarely accessed green and gold grassland plays host to the second largest wildebeest migration behind the Serengeti.

Your tented suite at King Lewanika Lodge brings with it an immense sense of isolation, with the untouched open plains stretching as far as the eye can see. From here, Land Cruisers will transport you on game drives. In addition, newly established walking routes will bring you up close to the resident wildlife alongside experienced guides. We recommend including the "Explore All Liuwa" fly camping experience, which allows for a full-day exploration of the park.

Whether witnessing the growing lion pride or the more than 300 rare bird species that make their home in Liuwa Plains, you will no doubt experience a walking safari Zambia adventure very few ever experienced or imagined.
