The game drive and white rhino walk combines a Mosi-oa-Tunya game drive with a guided walk to Zambia’s only white rhino, escorted by armed DNPW scouts — from K800 per person.
Why this walk exists nowhere else in Zambia
Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the small park wrapped around the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, is the only national park in Zambia where white rhino live. The animals are guarded day and night by armed scouts of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW), and it is these scouts who walk you in. Specialist local operators such as Livingstone Rhino Safaris have built the experience around that protection work.
Approaching a white rhino on foot, at a distance the scouts set and control, is a different order of encounter from seeing one across a floodplain through binoculars. You hear them graze. Few visitors forget it.
What the half day looks like
We collect you from your Livingstone hotel and hand you to your guide at the park gate. The morning splits into two acts: a game drive through Mosi-oa-Tunya’s riverine bush, then the walk itself once the scouts have located the rhino. The whole outing takes about half a day, and runs with a minimum of 2 guests.
- Act one: a guided game drive through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
- Act two: the white rhino walk, on foot with armed DNPW scouts.
- Duration: about half a day, morning or afternoon departures.
- Group size: from 2 guests; private groups arranged on request.

How much does it cost?
The combined game drive and rhino walk starts from K800 per person — one of the best-value serious wildlife experiences anywhere near Victoria Falls. All rates are confirmed at booking; subject to operator availability. Your POTUS quotation includes return hotel transfers, settled against a proforma invoice by bank transfer, mobile money or POS.
Sightings are wild-animal sightings: the scouts know their rhino, and success rates are high, but no ethical operator guarantees an encounter. We will always brief you honestly before you book.
When is the best time to go?
Early morning is the classic slot — cooler walking, softer light, and animals on the move. The walk runs year-round, with the bush thinning and visibility improving through the dry months. Wear neutral colours and closed shoes, bring a hat and water, and keep your camera strap around your neck: hands stay free on the walk.
Children and less mobile guests can often stay with the vehicle while the walkers go ahead — tell us your party’s needs and we will structure the morning around them. Pair it with the crocodile park tour from K350 for a full day of Zambian wildlife at two very different speeds.
Where do you track the rhino?
This half-day combines a classic open-vehicle game drive with something genuinely rare: a walking safari to track white rhino on foot. It takes place in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the only park in Zambia where white rhino roam, and the walk is conducted with armed wildlife-police scouts from the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, who protect both you and the animals. Approaching these enormous, prehistoric creatures quietly on foot, at ground level, is an encounter that stays with you long after the trip.
The game drive portion explores the same riverside park, home to elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo and abundant birdlife along the Zambezi. Because the park has no large predators, the walking is safe and calm — one of the reasons it is such an accessible introduction to a walking safari for first-timers.
At K800 per person for the combined half-day, it is exceptional value for two experiences in one, and the early-morning light is the best time for both game and photography. POTUS books the drive and walk together, arranges the transfer and confirms your party size. It pairs naturally with a stay at the David Livingstone Safari Lodge, which sits inside the same national park.
The walk is conducted entirely under the guidance of armed DNPW scouts, and neutral clothing and closed shoes are recommended for both the walk and the drive. POTUS books the combined experience, times the transfer for the best early-morning light and confirms your party size in advance. It is one of the most rewarding half-days in Livingstone — two experiences, one of them genuinely rare — and exceptional value at K800 per person for the pair.
Tracking white rhino on foot in the only Zambian park where they roam is a privilege few travellers realise is within reach of the falls, and combined with a classic game drive it makes one of the richest, best-value mornings in Livingstone — an experience POTUS is proud to arrange and one that pairs beautifully with a stay inside the very same national park.
