Thank you Troy Banda
Our safari with Dewclaw Eco Tours & Safaris was a highlight of our entire Zambia trip, and it’s entirely because of our guide, Troy Banda. From the moment we met him, his passion for the wildlife and landscape was obvious. He has a good eye for spotting animals, and his knowledge of the Big Five, birdlife, and the local ecosystem turned every stop into a mini lecture we actually wanted to hear. Troy was patient with our questions, funny when the mood called for it, and very respectful of the animals and their space - it’s clear why this outfit meets animal welfare guidelines. He made sure everyone in our group, including our kids, felt engaged and safe throughout. He also went out of his way to share stories that you won’t find in any guidebook. If you’re booking with Dewclaw Eco Tours, ask for Troy Banda specifically. He’s the kind of guide that makes you want to bring family back for another safari trip. Five stars isn’t enough - an absolute knockout experience from start to finish.
Response from the operator: Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share such an exceptional review. We are truly delighted to hear that your safari with us was a highlight of your entire trip to Zambia. Your kind words about Troy Banda are deeply appreciated — his passion for wildlife, his keen eye for spotting animals, and his extensive knowledge are qualities we are very proud of at Dewclaw Eco Tours & Safaris. We are especially pleased to know that he made everyone in your group, including your children, feel engaged and safe, while showing great respect for the animals and their space. We will be sure to share your wonderful feedback with Troy. He will be honored by your recommendation. Thank you for choosing us and for your five-star rating. We would be delighted to welcome you and your family back for another safari adventure. Warm regards, Dewclaw Eco Tours & Safaris

Meaningful safari experience in Livingstone
We had an amazing experience with Declaw Eco-Tourism Safari in Livingstone and can’t recommend them enough. From the start, they were kind, flexible, and genuinely took the time to help us plan the tour exactly how we wanted, explaining all the options without any pressure. We did the walking safari in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and were blown away by their knowledge. They pointed out everything, from birds and plants to tiny ants and rhinos, and shared it all with passion. The guides made sure we felt involved and at the center of the experience, which made it truly special. It’s also a local team, deeply connected to the park and the area, and supporting them really makes a difference. A wonderful, meaningful safari experience in Livingstone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Dewclaw Eco Tours & Safaris in Livingstone. We're thrilled to hear that our team provided a memorable and personalized experience, and that the walking safari in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park exceeded your expectations. Your kind words about our guides' knowledge, passion, and dedication are greatly appreciated. We're proud to be a local team committed to supporting the community and conservation efforts. Thank you for choosing us and for your heartfelt recommendation. Best regards, Dewclaw Eco Tours & Safaris

Dung tour very fun tour
This experience was overall great! The only thing that I did not love was I was able to book for 540, but the tour company called me and rescheduled for five as the park closes at six. This did cut our tour pretty short, but the tour guide was great and we did get to see the rhinos up close. They joke that it is a dung tour and it pretty much is. Most of what we saw was poop and tracks, which was very cool and seeing the rhinos up close was cool. Again, the only thing that was bad about this was allowing us to book at a time that was not ideal to see the park or fulfilled to three hours That was promised through this listing
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent tour experience. We're glad you enjoyed the tour guide and the opportunity to see the rhinos up close. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the rescheduling due to park hours. We'll take your feedback into consideration to ensure our booking process better aligns with park timings and provides a more fulfilling experience. Thank you for your input. Best regards, Dewclaw Safaris

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Walking Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $113 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 Walking Safari take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Walking Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 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 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 Walking Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Safari?
+
Around 4 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 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 Walking Safari?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Snacks; and All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Walking Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 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 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 Walking Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Walking Safari if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Walking Safari?
+
Across 11 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
