A Walking Safari in Zambia

Planning my trip, everyone thought I was nuts. “A walking safari? With lions and snakes and crocodiles around?” my boyfriend balked. “I’ll start making the funeral arrangements.” Even my dad, an established wildlife writer, urged me to conduct some risk-benefit analysis lest I wound up in a hippo’s digestive tract.

But I’d done my research, and I wasn’t worried. Not only were walking safaris safe—with Robin Pope, each group is accompanied by a shotgun-carrying park ranger—to me, they seemed like the best way to get to know a landscape, dung piles and all.

In this article, Benjamin Kemper explores one of the walking safaris in Zambia, the South Luangwa National Park, with some information on what kind of activities and sights you will get to witness, and how you can experience it yourself.
