Zambia Walking Holidays

Walking safaris and Zambia go hand in hand. They are a wonderful way to get up close and personal with the wilderness, whether that be creeping close to lions on foot or spotting a lone dung beetle doing his thing in the undergrowth. Luangwa Valley is brimming with exceptional walking destinations and high guiding standards, making it the ultimate place to embark on one of our Zambia walking holidays. Rise at the crack of dawn to the soundtrack of the savannah’s sunrise chorus and head out to see what you can tick off your safari bucket list. Watch out for scurrying termites, galloping zebras, lone bull elephants and wandering journeys of giraffes.

Zambia Walking Holidays Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

North and South Luangwa National Parks are the ultimate playground for those wanting to be part of the bush on one of our Zambia walking holidays. Follow quietly behind your expert guide as you traverse wide open plains, keeping your eyes peeled for a sentinel cheetah perched on a dusty mound or a warthog’s loo brush-like tail darting to and fro in the long grass. After exploring the bush on foot, head to a local village to discover the area’s culture and meet the ever-friendly school children who will rush to greet you. Track lions with your expert guide and work out what rhinos eat by analysing their dung (this is more exciting than it sounds). Enjoy languid lunches in the wilderness as well as a refreshing sundowner or two at a bar overlooking a waterhole where you can wait and see who might rock up for a splash in the cool waters as the light begins to fade. Sit back and enjoy a ‘sofa safari’, as game grazes on the riverbanks and you may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a leopard appearing as night falls.
