About this activity

Your tour starts with hotel pickup in Livingstone for the drive to Musi-oa-Tunya National Park, where your nature walk takes place with your guide. Nature walks provide a more natural and eco-friendly way of viewing African game, birds, and plantlife instead of a safari vehicle. Plus, on this walk, you have flexibility with your guide to spend longer than the standard duration of three hours, if you wish.

This park is home to three of Africa's Big Five animals—elephant, buffalo, and a big part of Zambia's white rhino population. Your guide will also show you wildlife such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, warthogs, primates, and antelopes—to mention but a few—as well as the local tree varieties, including teaks, mahoganies, and the mopane and marula trees, a favorite of the elephants. During a mid-walk break, perhaps near the Zambezi River, aka Kasamba Bezi, you'll have the chance to observe hippos and ibis along the riverbanks.

When your time ends, you'll be returned to your pickup location to end your tour. This walking safari through the park and surrounding area is suitable for active and adventurous participants.

A thrilling experience walking and trekking rhinos. Guide was great with good explanation of tracking methods. Saw rhinos and wildebeest. Rangers are doing a great job protecting these endangered species. Good value and informative.

I would rate this as 6 stars if I could! We knew we were in for a safe and authoritative walking safari when Chinga our guide sent two of our party back to change their orange shirts into something more bush-friendly, before we even left the resort. Our group was divided into two groups, one of four (interested in big animals alone) and one of five (also interested in birds), which made it a more individualized experience. Chinga's love for and knowledge of the birds in Mosi-oa-tunya was quickly evident. Not only did he know their calls, but could mimic them so the birds would answer, which made spotting them easier. As we began to walk, he placed us in height order, single file, so everyone could see without bunching and getting in each other's way. We took others’ advice in these ratings and scheduled the 2:30pm safari, and both Chinga and the game warden knew where to begin walking to be sure we would encounter the white rhinos. Within 10 minutes of walking, the game warden with us pointed them out before we even saw the mother rhino and her 45 day old calf running to catch up and take the typical (as we learned) walking position of rhino calves, in front of mom. We also wwlked to the watering hole and saw the other eight rhinos in the park, so we saw all the white rhinos in Zambia, from about 20-30 yards. Interspersed along the way Chinga also pointed out and demonstrated interesting things about the trees, plants, birds, and insects we encountered. Since we were also interested in birds, Chiga also took us to the Livingstone Sewage water hyacinth-filled ponds, which though a bit smelly, were full of many birds we had not yet seen. This tour exceeded our expectations - thanks Southern Savannah Safaris!
