A slow safari in raw nature, a walking safari is the best way to appreciate more of Africa

This safari holiday can be re-designed and tailor-made for your own unique experience

Introduction

Walking safaris were pioneered by Norman Carr in South Luangwa and the northern area of this national park provides tremendous opportunities for safari experiences unlike any other. Here you will find many predators and a concomitant amount of prey species. You will also learn about the smaller details in the African bush that can only be found by walking, a true slow safari in the raw wild.
