I was on a walking safari with my ex-wife 7 years ago in Botzwana. There we had the experience of a frontal charge from a lioness roaring at us that came no more than 25 meters from us. The terror was incredible. After years I have thought that perhaps if the lioness has reached my ex-wife I would have saved me some problems years later (just kidding).

A fabulous experience .Ive been able to visit and walk in Luangwa on 3 safaris. Always felt safe...and encountered wild dog on 2 occasions. Lower Zambezi is also to be recommended Hope to return for a 4th time and maybe even visit Kafue. Simon Artley Manchester UK

Have done numerous over the yrs, and Booked for an 8 day stretch (of many more) of Walking Safaris. Concur with much of your commentary, but refute the 3.30 pm Curfew Advice. We do two per day (everyday) - 06.15 till around 10.00 (wildlife dependent) and 4.00 until 6.15 (wildlife and light-levels dependent, not dictated by a clock). Always the highlight of our Trips.

Walking safari is an incredibly stupid, inane idea. It is one thing to be a member of a forest welling tribe and another thing to be a homo urban (city dwellers). Forest dwellers know the nature, the character of the wild. There is mutual respect between humans and wild animals. Here a bunch of city dwellers are taken on foot with a bunch of men armed with rifle. What happens if you walk into a pride out for a hunt? Or a rogue elephant charges at you? Sure, you can fire a shot but are you going to kill and maim an animal? You could just hop on the truck, jeep, SUV and watch them safely from a distance. I think a tragedy is just waiting to happen.
