A stay at Mundulea Nature Reserve is really all about exploring the area on foot with one of the very best wildlife guides in the business. The walking need not be fast, but will usually be full of discussions and observations on the area's flora and fauna. There's plenty of game here, including populations of unusual species like black rhino, black-faced impala, and high numbers of eland – but a trip here is all about understanding the environment, from the rocks and soil, to the plants, insects and big game. - View lodge details

Nsolo Bushcamp offers the chance to explore various environments on a walking safari, from grassy plains to mopane woodland and secretive lagoons to the riverine woods along the Luwi riverbed. Wildlife is plentiful here with species including Crawshay's zebra, elephant, lion and the usually elusive eland antelope. Longer walks between Nsolo and its sister-camp, Luwi Bushcamp (about 7km's away), are recommended. - View lodge details

Tena Tena overlooks the river on the edge of the Nsefu Sector of the South Luangwa, some of which is very open and flat – helping to make it a lovely area for big-game walking safaris. You'll find old lagoons, excellent game and lots of open space. Serious walkers might also opt to leave camp for a few nights to sleep under the stars at an RPS Bush-camp in this same Nsefu Sector of the park. - View lodge details

South Luangwa is probably Africa's best park for big game walking safaris. Mchenja always offers walking safaris as an optional activity – in a lovely area for walking. Muchenja as particularly easy to combine into a camp-to-camp walking trip. It's only a morning's walk from its sister-camps, Kakuli Camp or Nsolo Camp. - View lodge details

The exposed granite around Erongo forms large, rounded hills which are well-suited to hiking and gentle scrambling – so it's a great place to stretch your legs after time in a vehicle. The lodge offers a choice of walks, either accompanied by knowledgeable guides, or on your own along clearly marked walking trails (for which the lodge provides a detailed map). - View lodge details

The area surrounding Bilimungwe camp is varied – with some pretty stretches of riverine woodland along the Luangwa River, thicker miombo woodlands, and plenty of open 'dambos'. Exploring this with Manda Chisanga, an award-winning guide, was interesting and very informative as he is particularly knowledgeable on the medicinal properties of the plants. - View lodge details
