Zambia has an excellent safety record and it is essential as the aim of a walking safari is to track game and to get guests up close and personal with the animals they have come to Africa to see. Although young children are not allowed in the Park on foot (lower age limit of 12 years to walk), there is no upper age limit and one doesn't need a high level of fitness. Walking safaris are always conducted at a slow pace and usually last 3 to 4 hours. One should remember that when on a walking safari, you will not spend your time exclusively on foot. We tailor all our safaris to meet the wishes of our guests and you will usually split your time between walking and driving. The camp is open year round although from January through until the end of March the water levels can sometimes result in periods of closure.
