Leon Varley Walking Safaris
Wildlife & walking
Bush walks and multi-day walking safaris with one of Zimbabwe’s most experienced guides, on foot since the early 1980s.
Independent local guides
Book the people, not the platform
Every full guide on this site names the independents we would actually call: the walking guide, the photographer, the fisherman who has spent a lifetime on that stretch of river. They are not sold on any booking platform, we earn nothing when you book them, and they are listed because they are who we would go with.
