BUSH WALKS AND RIVER TRAILS:
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. |
