Description
These two activities are frequently packaged together as a half-day or full-day excursion, often starting with the active tracking safari in the morning and winding down with the cultural immersion in the afternoon The Experience: Unlike standard driving safaris, you will track endangered white rhinos on foot. Accompanied by professional, armed wildlife rangers and trackers, you get incredibly close to these gentle giants at ground level, which completely changes how you experience the sounds and rhythms of the bush Conservation Focus: Because rhinos are heavily protected due to poaching risks, rangers monitor them 24/7. Your guide will teach you about local rhino behavior and Zambia's intense conservation initiatives • The Experience: Located just a short drive from the park, Mukuni Village is an authentic, 700-year-old traditional community home to the Leya people under Chief Mukuni. • What You'll See: A local village guide will lead you through the community to see traditional huts, observe daily local life, understand their matrilineal system, and visit the vibrant local craft market.Includes
