Walking Safaris

Discover the African wilderness with a walking safari, an immersive adventure that brings you up close and personal with Africa’s stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. Unlike traditional game drives, walking safaris offer a unique perspective, allowing you to connect with nature on a deeper level.

Guided by experienced and knowledgeable rangers, you’ll explore the wilderness on foot, immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the African bush. Discover hidden tracks, observe wildlife behaviors from a unique vantage point, and gain a profound appreciation for the intricate balance of nature. A walking safari is a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you with lasting memories of your African adventure.

What to Expect

On a Walking Safari, you can expect:

Close Encounters: Experience intimate encounters with wildlife and learn about their behavior and habitat from your guide. Walking safaris offer a chance to see smaller details often missed from a vehicle, such as tracks, plants, and insects.
Guided Walks: Enjoy guided walks led by expert rangers who provide insights into the ecosystem, wildlife tracking, and survival skills. Their knowledge enhances your understanding and appreciation of the environment.
Scenic Landscapes: Explore diverse landscapes, from savannas and forests to wetlands and hills. Walking safaris allow you to fully appreciate the beauty and serenity of the African wilderness.
Safety and Comfort: Safety is a top priority, with rangers ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience. Accommodations during walking safaris often include comfortable tents or lodges that provide a restful retreat after your explorations.

Best Time for Walking Safaris

The best time for Walking Safaris typically falls during the dry season, from June to October, when the weather is more predictable, and wildlife is concentrated around water sources. This period also offers clearer paths and fewer risks of encountering heavy rains. However, walking safaris can be conducted year-round depending on the region and specific conditions.

Tips and Recommendations

Wear comfortable, breathable clothing and sturdy walking shoes. Neutral colors are recommended to blend with the environment and avoid startling wildlife.
Bring essentials such as a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a small backpack for personal items.
Stay hydrated and be prepared for varying weather conditions. Carry a water bottle and be ready for both hot and cold temperatures.
Listen carefully to your guide’s instructions to ensure safety and maximize your experience.
