For the adventurers who yearn to get even further out into the wilderness, to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of the bush we offer dedicated walking safaris in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park.
Our mobile walking Safaris have long been known as the best wilderness experience of the South Luangwa. Our camps offer a unique combination of creature comforts and stunning remote locations in the South Luangwa National Park. However, some of our guests want to get even further out into the wilderness, to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of the bush. For these adventurers, we offer dedicated walking safaris. Walking through the bush is a completely different experience to driving. All your senses are alert. Every sound, every movement - the flap of a bird's wing, a tail swishing through the tall grass - acquires significance. This is where an expert guide really comes into his own. Not only will he (or she!) point out wildlife and birdlife to you, he will also teach you to hone and sharpen your senses and to spot the clues that lie around you in the bush. As one of our guests said after walking for five days along the Mupamadzi River, it is like reading an engrossing book, compared to watching a film!

Nkwali Camp has a wide view of the Luangwa River. It is overlooking the South Luangwa National Park, Nkwali is ideally situated for the start of your safari.
Enjoy staying in the wild as you camp in well-equipped walk-in tents. The shower is under a tree and the toilet is a long drop with a wooden throne. Every day, the mobile camp will be packed and moved to the next camp and will be ready as you arrive later.
Round off your walking safari by cooling your heels (literally) at one of the remote camps - either Tena Tena or Nsefu Lodge. Both are located near to watering holes or overlooking the bend of a river ensuring that animal grazing will never be far away from your stay!
