His aim was to track big game on foot in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley, one of Africa’s last havens of un-spoilt wilderness and home to some of the continent’s greatest concentrations of game. Norman like to say \"to view the bush from a vehicle is simply to be an observer, but to get out on foot was to become a part of your surroundings.\" Over 60 years on, at Norman Carr Safaris we are still walking....we are still passionate about sharing the thrill of tracking lions on foot through early morning mists, the delight in learning something new on every activity and the adventure of walking from camp to camp the original safari way. Walking safaris are immersive, sensual and peaceful. In Zambia, an armed wildlife ranger or \"scout\" leads each walking group, followed by the trained walking guide. In other countries, the walking guide is armed and leads the group alone. Having a walk led by two wildlife experts was conceived by Norman and our 60 year track record of safety speaks to the effectiveness of this approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile certainly vehicle safaris allow one to cover more ground and see a greater volume of game in a 3-4 hour safari, it is only on a walking safari where all your senses are heightened and you can see, hear, smell and feel the bush. You begin to understand the interconnectedness of the flora and the fauna, how each small part plays an important role in the greater ecosystem. Small mysteries of the bush are unlocked and explored; tracks are investigated; and the wide variety of animal poo becomes an unexpected and fascinated learning experience! And while generally speaking, walks are more focused on the little things in the bush, tracking big game on foot is not uncommon and always thrilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43532332662843,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/walking-safaris-activity-9855-37036","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
