Walking Safaris

Guided bush walks & fly-camping expeditions in East and Southern Africa

Walking Safaris

Walking safaris are one of the most rewarding ways to experience the African bush. They offer you the chance to see not just the larger mammals, but also the smaller fauna and flora that is often ignored on fast-paced game drives. Walking safaris can either be a short walk from the camp or lodge where you stay to a multi-day fly-camping expeditions. Most lodges in Southern and East Africa offer at least short morning walks, while many also offer extended fly-camping walking safaris.
