DESTINATIONS

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.

Become part of the bush, rather than just a spectator

Where it began: Zambia is the original home of walking safaris, dating back to 1960’s – still offers some of the best.
