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.
