Walking Safaris

Safari Travel Planner

Safari Enquiry

Walking safari tours in Africa are a great way to see the wild. By walking, you get closer to nature and start seeing the environment like the locals have for centuries. Unlike the quicker game drives, walking lets you see not just the big animals like elephants and giraffes but also the smaller details—the insects, the birds, the plants—that make the ecosystem complete.

Seeing wildlife on foot gives you a different view. You get to see the big animals up close, but also the small creatures that you might miss from a car. It’s all about noticing the little things and the plants that are all around you, waiting to be found.

These luxury walking safaris are safe, and you don’t need to be very fit to join in. You won’t be climbing mountains—just taking leisurely walks on mostly flat paths. A professional guide will walk with you, explaining all the interesting things you see and hear. It’s a chance to discover the hidden parts of the African bush in a new way.
