Tips for Your Mukuni Village Adventure

Before you embark on this brilliant Zambian village tour, here are some handy nuggets to keep in mind:

• Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing and sturdy walking shoes - the village paths can be unpaved but nothing too tricky.
• Bring sun protection: a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, since the Zambian sun can be quite generous.
• Don't forget a bottle of water to stay hydrated during your 2.5-hour adventure.
• This experience isn't physically demanding, making it suitable for most fitness levels.
• Best time to visit is during the dry season (May to October), when the weather is pleasant and wildlife sightings in nearby areas are top-notch.
• Cameras are highly encouraged! Capture those candid moments but always ask before photographing people.
• Since you're visiting a living community, respect and an open mind will take you far.
