There’s no thrill quite like stepping out into the wild on foot. Walking safaris slow everything down, sharpening your senses to every sound, scent, and movement. It's a more intimate way to experience the African wilderness—tracking animal prints in the dust, learning about the smaller creatures often missed on game drives, and feeling truly a part of the landscape. Led by expert guides and trackers, walking safaris reveal Africa at its most raw, authentic, and humbling.
From ancient riverbeds to grassy plains and thick forests, Africa’s most iconic parks offer unforgettable walking adventures, each revealing a different side of the wild.
Tanzania
Ruaha’s remote and untamed landscapes set the perfect stage for walking safaris. Here, seasoned guides lead you through vast baobab-dotted plains and rocky kopjes, offering the chance to track elephant herds, spot lions, and learn the secrets of one of Tanzania’s wildest corners.
South Africa
Famous for its luxury lodges and Big Five encounters, Sabi Sands offers exceptional walking safaris with highly skilled rangers. Morning walks bring you face-to-face with the intricate beauty of the bush—smaller wildlife, medicinal plants, and thrilling moments when big game is spotted from the ground.
Kenya
Samburu’s rugged terrain and dry riverbeds are ideal for immersive bush walks. Guided by Samburu warriors and expert rangers, you'll explore the reserve’s dramatic landscapes, tracking unique species like the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra, and learning about the survival secrets of this semi-arid environment.
Kenya
Beyond the famous game drives, the Maasai Mara offers walking safaris in private conservancies adjoining the reserve. Here, you can walk alongside Maasai guides through golden grasslands and acacia woodlands, tuning into the rhythms of the land and uncovering the Mara’s quieter, hidden wonders.
