Zambia Travel Guide - Zambia Safaris Packages

The walking safari offers the best wildlife experience in most of Zambia National parks. It was initiated by Norman Carr in Luangwa Valley in the nineteen fifty’s (1950s) and is currently the preferred activity in Zambia .This has made the country one of the few places in Africa where it is possible to walk amongst wildlife in a true wilderness environment. All walking safaris are accompanied by highly qualified and experienced guides as well as an armed ranger and the first step in planning a walking safari is to decide on the type of safari that suits you best. The modern-day “walking safari” is a loose term used to describe a variety of safari activities including: wilderness trails (fly-camping under the stars), backed-up walking safaris (vehicle back-up, fully serviced luxury mobile camps), trails from fixed bases (tented camps, seasonal bush camps, lodges).

Traditional tented camps and bush camps act as a seasonal or semi-permanent base from which walking trails are conducted. These camps have vehicles or boats (depending upon location) to extend the range of the safaris and this best done by accommodation facilities at Luangwa National Park. Lodge based walking safaris offer great experience to visitors on the walking trails from permanent lodges with support of the staff, vehicles and a wide variety of  comforts, optional facilities and activities. Unless located on private land or concessions, lodges are generally found outside of the National Park an area with every provision made for the comfort of guests.
