Walking Safaris: There can be few more thrilling ways to experience and understand African wildlife, the bush

and ecosystem as a whole than by being on foot on a walking safari. Guests will also be accompanied by an armed

National Parks ranger. Walking safaris last about two hours and are conducted at a leisurely pace. Morning walks will

depart at 6:30 am and will include a break with tea, coffee and snacks. The afternoon walk will commence at 16:00 and

finish at a special sundowner spot where guests will be served drinks and canapés while enjoying the magnificent

sunset.

March. (This is the local Fisheries’ regulations and it is enforced by the Zambian Wildlife Authority.) All fishing is on a

strict “Catch and Release” policy as we are in the national park. Fishing can either be from the river bank in front

of the lodge; however it is preferable to go out on the river in a boat as it is a safety risk to fish off the river bank

because of the crocodiles. Sussi and Chuma’s 3 boats are used for fishing as well as other activities. Guests specifically

wanting to do fishing should ideally request and pay for a private boat for fishing. That said we will be happy to

accommodate fishermen as best as we can. Please note, on a full camp, all boats are used for the evening sunset

cruise.
