Why go on a walking safari?

A walking safari is Africa experienced at its most immediate: following tracks in the sand, pausing to read the signs left by wildlife, and seeing the bush through the eyes of an expert guide. Our walking safaris in Zambia and Zimbabwe are designed for travellers who want to step beyond the game-drive vehicle and feel more connected to the wilderness.

Every walk is led by an experienced walking guide and accompanied by an armed National Parks scout. The pace, route and focus are shaped around the conditions, wildlife and guests in the group, so no two walks are ever the same.

A wonderful experience. Kanga was an excellent guide - it was like being in your own tv documentary.

Just to say it was a once in a lifetime experience. We feel so privileged to have had this time with you all. Your whole team are fabulous. A massive thank you to everyone.
Ashley about Walking
The walking safari was just what I was looking for. Great group of trekkers, and a super staff. I'd like to find something for them to improve upon, but I can't - they've obviously been doing this a long time, and know how to make the mobile safari work.

What should I expect on a walking safari?

A walking safari is about slowing down and experiencing the African bush from a completely different perspective. Rather than covering long distances in search of big game, you follow fresh tracks, learn to read animal behaviour and discover the smaller details that are easily missed from a safari vehicle.

Every walk is different. Your experienced guide and scout continually assess the wildlife and surroundings, choosing a safe and rewarding route while helping you understand the sights, sounds and scents of the wilderness around you.

Is a walking safari right for me?

A walking safari is ideal for curious, active travellers looking for a more immersive safari experience. You do not need to be an endurance athlete, but you should be comfortable walking on uneven natural terrain, spending several hours outdoors and exploring in warm conditions.

Different walking safari experiences offer different levels of adventure and comfort. Whether you prefer staying at a bush camp or joining a mobile walking safari, we can help you choose an experience that suits your interests, fitness and preferred pace.
