Embark on an extraordinary adventure with Sitali S Travel and Tours as you experience the Lion Walk at Mukuni Big 5 Safaris, located just a few kilometers from the world-renowned Victoria Falls in Livingstone, Zambia. This thrilling activity offers a rare and unforgettable opportunity to walk side by side with the King of the Jungle in a secure and natural environment, guided by highly trained and professional handlers.
The Lion Walk takes place within the private Mukuni Big 5 conservation area — a sanctuary dedicated to the protection, rehabilitation, and reintroduction of Africa’s most iconic wildlife species. During this remarkable experience, guests are accompanied by expert guides and lion handlers who share fascinating insights into the lions’ behavior, social structure, and conservation efforts aimed at sustaining their population in the wild.
The activity typically lasts about one hour, beginning with a comprehensive safety briefing to ensure participants understand the rules and protocols when interacting with the lions. You’ll then proceed on foot into the bush where the lions roam freely, walking alongside them without leashes or collars, allowing for an intimate and authentic wildlife encounter. The experience provides excellent opportunities for photography, as you capture incredible moments up close with these majestic creatures under the guidance of experienced professionals.
Sitali S Travel and Tours ensures a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Guests are collected from their hotel or lodge in Livingstone and transferred to the Mukuni Big 5 site, situated approximately 5 kilometers from the Victoria Falls on the road to Chief Mukuni’s Village. All participants receive a pre-walk orientation covering safety measures, appropriate clothing (neutral colors are recommended), and camera guidelines.
Beyond the excitement, the Lion Walk contributes to vital conservation and education initiatives. The lions involved in the program are part of a monitored and ethical conservation project that helps young lions develop natural instincts and prepares them for a possible return to the wild. By participating, visitors not only enjoy an unforgettable adventure but also support ongoing efforts to preserve Africa’s wildlife heritage.
