Walking Safaris

Allowing a special perspective of Africa from the ground

Walking Safaris offer a unique way of exploring Africa and allows a special perspective of the environment allowing a greater understanding of the animals, land and people of this vast continent.

Walking safaris offer an alternative way to explore Africa’s wilderness areas. Whilst often included as part of the suite of activities offered by a camp or lodge, walking safaris are also offered to small groups as specialist packages. These place an emphasis on getting closer to nature from a unique perspective allowing guests to track wildlife, understand animal movement and behaviour. There is time to understand and appreciate the trees, grasses and finer details of these ecosystems.


Depending on the environment, armed professional guides lead walking excusions, although in some more benign environments guests are able to conduct some walks alone.

Accommodation is generally tented with specially designed tents allowing for comfortable twin beds and even piping hot, bucket shower under the stars. These provide a glimpse of the original African safari under canvas, much as early explorers and hunters would have known.

In southern Africa well known destinations for walking safaris include the Okavango Delta, Hwange National Park and NamibRand Nature Reserve.
