The Lodge
has 3 kilometers of river frontage, which provide the opportunity for
walks along the river, as well as to explore the tree clad hills that
rise behind the Lodge. It is recommended that such walks are accompanied
by an experienced member of staff, as game that may be encountered in
the vicinity of the Lodge include Elephant, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard
together with various species of antelope not to mention Hippo and
Crocodiles on the river bank itself.
A
visit on foot in the company of a guide can be arranged to the nearest
village, some 4 kilometers away. An ideal opportunity for visitors to
see first hand how rural people in Zambia live and work without the aid
of many amenities that are taken for granted in the developed world.
This is not a specially constructed "cultural village" but rather the
real way of life where people face the constant threat of floods and
drought, raids on their crops by wild animals and hardship just as their
ancestors did.
Walking safari's in the Lower Zambezi National Park in the company of a
member of the Park's staff can be arranged. Participants are
transported by boat to the starting point within the Park with actual
game viewing taking place on foot, returning to the Lodge by boat. Wild
and untouched, the Park will provide the walker with the opportunity to
view game in abundance in an unparalleled setting in the heart of the
Zambezi Valley. Animals that may be seen include Elephant, Buffalo,
Lion, Leopard, Water Buck, Kudu, Bush Buck, Impala, Zebra and possibly
Roan Antelope. |
