Walking is the best way to discover the landscape in the most unique way. Roaming helps you to understand the land better and feel connected to the fragile ecosystem. It is a way you reconnect to a quieter part of yourself while igniting your senses to your environment. In Mana Pools, walking is the ultimate way to experience the land as 70% of the park can only be roamed by foot. To go hand in hand with adventure on foot we have included some of Africa’s best water experiences, such as a tranquil boat ride on Lake Kariba and visit the iconic Victoria Falls. Walk on the wild side with us on this Walking & Water Safari.
Safari Starts in Harare, Zimbabwe, and ends in Livingstone, Zambia.
Wildlife sightings include wild dogs, lion, leopards, elephant, hippo, kudu, zebra, buffalo, hyena, crocodiles, and many other wildlife species.
