The Walking Mobile safari

Combining Nkwali 2 Nights, Walking Mobile 5 Nights, and Tena Tena 3 Nights

For 5 days the safari follows the Mupamadzi River, covering approximately 10km a day. This clear river is a major tributary of the Luangwa. The area is remote and wild, the terrain and habitats varied and the game shy and unused to man. From ants to buffalo, a bird's nest to tracking a lion, you will learn the many facets of the bush.

Zambia Travel - information

Formerly the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia, Zambia adopted its new name upon independence on the 24th October 1964, the countries name is derived from the Zambezi river which flows along the Southern boundary of Zambia. Today, Zambia is one of the top safari destinations in Southern and Eastern Africa, with The Victoria Falls, Lower Zambezi National Park and the Lungwa National Park being 3 of the most popular safari attractions here.

Other Destinations:

* Kafue National park
* Lochinvar National Park
* Lake Kariba
* Lake Tanganyika
* Sioma Ngwezi National Park
* Kasanka National Park

Getting into Botswana:

* By Air - International airports are situated at Livingstone, Lusaka and Mfuwe, We must stress though that you will not see large 747 and the big airbuses here. When the word international airport is used, we mean domestic/ international i.e. South Africa to Zambia, Kenya to Zambia and so on. So when flying to Zambia from a country out side of Africa it will most probably be a add-on connection.

* By Road -  Zambian Main roads are OK to GOOD, go off these and one will require a good 4x4 with the driving skills to match. Saying that Zambia is not an ideal self drive destination.

Language:

English is widely spoken by everybody when on safaris in Zambia.

Health:

Malaria is found in the ALL regions of Zambia - precautions need to be taken.

The AIDS/ HIV infection rate of Zambia is estimated at 16.5% in 2003. Please be responsible when on Zambia safari.
