Very Educational Experience
Obby and Bright were great guides: not only did we get up close to the rhinos, but the whole walk was spent learning how to identify plants, animal droppings, and tracks.

It’s great to know you enjoyed not only getting close to the rhinos but also learning about the plants, animal tracks, and signs along the way.

Awesome experience
Arnolubi Safaris Walking with Rhinos This took place in Mosi oa Tunya NP in Zambia. When I booked this tour, pick up from Vic Falls, Zimbabwe was agreed. But this changed to pick up from Zambia side of border a few days before the tour. That meant an earlier start for me, so that I was dropped by taxi at 06.15 at Zim side and then I walked over bridge to Zambia and through the Zambian border post for the 7am pick up. (As an aside, I had wondered about walking to the Zim border from my Vic Falls hotel hotel in the pre-dawn darkness: having seen an elephant suddenly lumber out from the side of the road as we passed in the taxi, I'm glad I did not!) The tour itself could not have been better. In the company of Simeon and Sunday, plus an armed Park Ranger, we walked near a herd of white rhinos, going quite close whilst being careful not to get so near as to disturb these animals 'comfort zones'. To observe a group of these immense creatures at close quarters in their natural habitat was awesome in the true sense of the word. Simeon had great knowledge of the rhinos and of the other fauna and flora we encountered whilst in the Park. Walking with Rhinos was a memorable experience that I would heartily recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had a great experience during the Game Drive and Short Rhino Walk. Your kind feedback means a lot to our entire team and serves as great encouragement for us to continue delivering high-quality and memorable safari experiences. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we are honored that you chose to explore the park with us. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future for another exceptional adventure. Thank you once again for your support and trust in our services.

Outstanding experience. Must do!
The trip was sensational. Saw rhinos, had a fantastic break with coffee and snacks as well as a safari drive. I could not recommend this high enough. Arnold and his team were well organised, on time and very friendly as a solo traveller to Zambia. I would definitely recommend doing this trip.

A stone's throw away from white rhinos!
What an incredible and unique experience. As I went during the beginning of the rainy season, the park had already turned extremely lush. This usually means that spotting many rhinos can be more difficult as there are plenty of good food options. However, I was super lucky to be able to see 7 out of 10 rhinos found in the park, one of which is the youngest baby. We hiked through the bush for just over an hour—as it was low season, I was yet again lucky because it was just myself, Arnold, a guide-in-training, and an armed ranger. We only came across one other, small group the whole time. Once we wrapped up our trekking, we went on a short, 30 minute game drive through the park and back towards Livingstone. Didn't have quite as much luck during this as we did during the rhino walking, but there were still some neat animals to see around. Overall, this was a very reasonable price and worth doing if you haven't been up close to rhinos before.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your positive feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable and memorable experience on the Rhino Walking Safari. We are especially pleased to know that our professional walking safari guide, Arnold, contributed positively to your experience through his knowledge, professionalism, and passion for wildlife conservation. Providing safe, informative, and authentic safari experiences is very important to us, and your feedback reassures us that we are meeting these standards. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we sincerely thank you for choosing our services. We hope that the memories from your safari will remain with you for a long time, and we would be honored to welcome you back again in the future for another adventure.

Rhino walking Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Rhino walking Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livingstone usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rhino walking Safari take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Livingstone is not rushed.
Is Rhino walking Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livingstone, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rhino walking Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rhino walking Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rhino walking Safari?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Livingstone can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Livingstone and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rhino walking Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Livingstone within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Livingstone?
+
On Outty we rank every Livingstone experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Game Drive & Rhino Safari Exp - up to 3 hrs long - MIN 2 PEOPLE, Raft the Zambezi, Zambezi Whitewater Rafting — Full Day All 25 Rapids : Livingstone. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Livingstone?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Livingstone?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Rhino walking Safari?
+

Does Rhino walking Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 12 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Rhino walking Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Rhino walking Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Rhino walking Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
