Walking Safaris in Africa

Walking Safaris in Africa

In the days before vehicles carved up the landscape, people were forced to walk from place to place, and in so doing, a powerful connection with their natural environment was formed. While game drives are the fastest way to see wildlife, nothing is quite like exploring the bush on foot. Not only will you be able to view animals such as elephant, plains game and giraffe from a different perspective, you’ll also notice the little things; insects, small mammals, reptiles and uniquely adapted flora that are just waiting to be discovered.

Walking safaris are completely safe and only require a low fitness level (not if you’re climbing a mountain or tracking mountain gorillas in the forest of course). You will be accompanied by a professional game ranger or field guide, who will be able to explain the sights and sounds that make this activity one of the highlights of an African safari.

What You Need To Know

The ideal terrain for a walking safari is arguably the grasslands and savannahs of Africa. Not only will animals and birds be more visible, but you’ll be able to truly appreciate the natural environment of your destination. However, during the wet season, the dry plains transform into a lush garden of grass and wildflowers, depending on where in Africa you’ll be exploring. In areas where the vegetation is much thicker, walking safaris are usually not a viable safari activity.
