OR Walking Safari

+ Yoga

A walking safari immerses you directly in nature; trading the vehicle for your own two feet. You step into the landscape and experience Africa through its sights, sounds, and scents. Revealed are the small details of the bush that a drive races past — tracks, dung, insects, medicinal plants, bird calls, the subtle movements of wildlife and the sheer scale and diversity of the landscape; rivers, woodlands, lagoons, and open grasslands..

Visiting Africa for the first time or returning for another adventure, a walking safari offers a fresh perspective on the wilderness. Travelling at a slower pace, incorporating adventure, education, and conservation and finishing each day with restorative yoga to enliven the tired mind and body.

There are options for the style, length and location of your walking safari. Whatever your choice it will include South Luangwa National Park, recognized as the birthplace of the modern walking safari. Travellers seeking luxury with adventure can enjoy walking safaris while staying in high-end lodges. For a more diverse landscape your choice may be to explore a number of National Parks. Enjoy comfy camping, great guiding connecting with and learning of Zambian life.

Walking safaris do not require extreme fitness but participants should feel comfortable walking several kilometers across uneven terrain.

Clare - yoga teacher

After many years traveling in Africa and working in Zambia I returned to Tasmania. Africa remains in my heart, a wonderous continent that I want to share; hence Yoga Safari Zambia was born.

Clare comes with a wealth of knowledge to make this trip far more than what is on the label. In conjunction with experiencing the wildlife of Zambia, its landscape and people there will be opportunities to visit conservation projects, schools, a village, creative projects that create employment; eat at a local cafe, visit an art gallery and various markets. This offers the perfect mix of the new, exciting and un-imagined along with the opportunity to rest with the gentle touch of yoga.

Leading this Yoga Safari Clare comes with over 20 years teaching experience. She inspires and skillfully supports people at all ages and levels with classes designed for mixed groups. Classes are accessible and adaptable to the needs of the group and offered within a welcoming atmosphere. They blend and incorporate vinyasa, hatha and restorative yoga, meditation and breath practices. All yoga sessions are optional. See more about Clare’s work.

As we settle into a gentle rhythm of safari and yoga classes shall generally be late morning, after early activities. However, this can change according to activities and on request.

A YOGA SAFARI or WALKING SAFARI may be the trip for you if:

  • Visiting Africa has always been a dream

  • You want to go to new places while maintaining your sense of well-being

  • You want to travel in Africa with a small group of like minded people (or plan trip with family and friends)

  • You are looking for a new adventure

What are people saying….

  • “Truly the trip of a lifetime - would not hesitate to recommend."

    ‘Clare’s personal knowledge of the parks, the culture, the staff, etc., made for a fabulous  experience.
    The guides have a deep knowledge of the ecosystems and can answer virtually any question - for context, I’m a Ph.D. In the biological sciences.” Sharon H

  • "It was the best holiday I have ever had. The safaris just blew me away. "

    “Being out in the open for hours all day, senses alert to the possibilities of what we might see was invigorating and fun. Seeing the wildlife in their natural state made me feel so grateful for the experience.

    The lodges were fabulous, can’t fault them, the staff were lovely, food amazing and the guides particularly were fabulous. They were kind, funny and always accommodating. I loved their knowledge and generosity with sharing it.

    I would not hesitate to recommend any of the them to anyone visiting Zambia.”
    Marg M

  • "This trip was all about being present in the moment:

    ….seeing the landscape and animals on safari, hearing nothing but nature and the unfolding story of the land around us, feeling the sun, breeze and spray of the Falls, smelling and tasting the wonderful food.

    Fitting the yoga into the day around other activities worked well. It was good to have that flexibility.

    The village visit really helped to see how different the lives of the local people are to ours, but also how communal and sustainably they live.”
    Deb S

  • "The accommodation and food at all of the lodges was 5 star all the way."

    “The hospitality of the staff was fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. 

    Within the yoga practices, I liked the way you offered modifications to various poses for those that needed it. 

    The village tour was a great excursion and enabled us to see first hand what people, particularly the women, are doing to get out of poverty and make a livelihood.  It also gave us a view into their culture and how they live day to day. “
