Lion Walking Safari
Walk alongside lions with experienced wildlife handlers
Join a professionally supervised lion walking safari at Mukuni Big Five Safaris and experience one of the region’s most memorable wildlife encounters. The activity takes place in a controlled bush environment with trained handlers beside the group throughout the walk.
Before entering the walking area, guests receive a detailed safety briefing covering movement, positioning and photography. During the experience, the guides share information about the lions’ behaviour, individual characteristics and daily care.
