Morning game drive

Walking safari South Luangwa

The minimum age for walking safaris here in the South Luangwa is 12 years. No children younger than this are allowed to walk for safety reasons. Walks are most commonly done in the mornings when it's cooler but we can organise in the afternoons too if guests are particularly keen.
