Zambia Invented the Walking Safari. It Still Does It Best.

South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is where the walking safari was pioneered in the 1950s by conservationist Norman Carr, and the guiding standards it established have never slipped. Strict guiding exams have guaranteed consistently high standards, and virtually every camp in the valley has walking guides of genuine experience. The season runs May to November. If you have not done a walking safari, South Luangwa is where to do it for the first time. If you have, it is worth going back.
