Walking Safaris
For any adventurous adult, a walking safari has to be the ultimate wildlife experience!
The ‘walking safari’ is a concept unique to Africa, as it is a walk in the company of a game ranger, usually armed, through big game country. There is nothing to compare with the exhilaration of walking through the bush as your ranger explains the way in which the bark of one tree may be used as a toothbrush, and the leaves of another can be distilled to make a formidable alcoholic drink! This is primarily a way of gaining a deeper understanding of the whole ecosystem rather than a strenuous walking experience, though general fitness will add to your enjoyment. However, it is always possible to come upon a herd of buffalo or rhino, so a walking safari can be an exhilarating adventure!
We offer a selection of walking safaris throughout Southern Africa. Another popular option is to take one of the Parks walking safaris in Hluhluwe Game Reserve (4 night/3 day), Mkuze Game Reserve (4 night/3 day) or the Kruger National Park (5 night/4 day). However the Kruger Park trails are exceptionally popular and are often booked out 12 months in advance.
Walking and Hiking in Africa, as in any part of the world, is an adventure! In areas where there are wild creatures, from mosquitoes, ticks and snakes to hippo and lion, there is inevitably some element of risk. It is important that clients make themselves aware of the risks involved on the particular walking safari or trail they have selected, and are responsible for making their travel plans accordingly. We will not accept any bookings for clients who are not adequately insured. Please also read the General
