EXPERIENCES

For many, a walking safari is a life changing adventure, discovering Africa in minute detail through the knowledge of a guide.​

Walking safaris are the best way to discover the wilderness areas – a natural way to explore and really feel connected to the bush. You can reach some of the most inaccessible places, only reachable on foot, discovering wildlife and dramatic scenery.
 
Walk from lodge to lodge or spend the night sleeping under canvas after a thrilling day’s exploring with a guide who will weave a hundred stories of what is happening on the ground or in the air – it doesn’t get any better than this.

A FEW IDEAS

A few ideas to whet the appetite

  • Mana Pools, Zimbabwe – an old favourite, offering fantastic walking. Opt for a tented mobile camp on the banks of Zambezi.
  • Camel Walking Safari, Kenya – remote, unspoilt and away from the masses. Big game & lots of cultural interaction.
  • Zambia – combine a collection of intimate bush camps, spending a few days in each & walking between them.
  • Adventure Fly Camping – Serengeti, Tanzania. The premise is that you spend the days walking, and the nights sleeping out in light weight tents.   

Let your senses come to life, intensified by the profound calm and stillness of expansive, unbounded landscapes.
