Zambia walking safari holidays in the South Luangwa National Park

Robin Pope Walking Mobile Safaris, South Luangwa, Zambia

The Walking Mobile Safaris have come to be known as THE wilderness experience of the South Luangwa. After 1 night at Nkwali, the party drives up to the remote north of the park. For 5 days the safari follows the Mupamadzi River, covering approximately 10km a day. This clear river is a major tributary of the Luangwa. The area is remote and wild, the terrain and habitats varied and the game shy and unused to man. From ants to buffalo, a bird's nest to tracking a lion, you will learn the many facets of the bush. A final few nights at Tena Tena complete the safari.
