Special Safaris
Walking and Hiking Safaris
Walking safaris are the most natural way to see this pristine wilderness of Africa. You can have a strenuous or as relaxing walk/hike depending on your pace and the time. Most walking safaris and Hikes are offered at the lodge/camp you will be staying at during your safari. However, you can have an entire walking safari with only a vehicle to help with ground logistics.
Walking can allow you to get close to wildlife and Nature. You get to experience the wilderness from a more natural intimate level. There are natures walk and tracking walks which are more fascinating. Most of these walks are guided by a local guide like a Maasai or a Samburu. You also get to walk with some specialized guides like bird watching guides or gorilla tracking guides.
