Top African Walking Safaris and Destinations


African walking safaris are perfectly safe and only demand a moderate level of fitness (unless you’re climbing a mountain or tracking mountain gorillas in the jungle). A trained game ranger or field guide will accompany you and describe the sights and sounds that make this activity one of the highlights of an African safari.

People were obliged to walk from place to place in the days before vehicles ripped up the terrain, and in doing so, a powerful connection with their natural environment was developed. While game drives are the most efficient way to see animals, nothing beats exploring the woods on foot. Not only will you be able to see elephants, plains game, and giraffes from a new perspective, but you will also see the minute things—insects, small mammals, reptiles, and uniquely suited plants—that are just waiting to be explored.
