Why go on a Walking Safari in Africa?

A walking safari is so different to staying in a lodge in the bush. A lot of lodges offer ‘walking safari’ which are great, but if you are looking for a more engaging bush experience then a 4 or 5 day walking safari could be for you.

On a walking safari the place you end is where you sleep, under the bright African skies. You spend the night sitting at the fire thinking about the days sightings or simply just lying there listening to ever leaf bending and animal night cry.

The thrill of walking, tracking and getting up close to one of the creatures of the bush is an unforgettable experience.    The wilderness is something special. To me, the only way to experience the real spirit of Africa is on foot. Away from the noise and turmoil of modern society, it truly helps you to get your terrestrial problems into perspective.” – Norman Carr, Kakuli “

There is a world of difference between experiencing a safari in Africa on foot than say, from the tinted windows of a luxury bus or safari vehicle.

 Here are just a select few we have for you to use as a resource:

    Myself and a group of friends climbed Mount Kilimanjaro earlier year in aid of Asthma UK. It really was the most amazing amazing experience and has certainly given me the taste for Africa. It was the most beautiful mountain and was like hiking through four seasons in a week, from steamy forest, mountain rivers to snow topped summit. I will be returning Africa in the next 12 months, this trip looks perfect.
