Walking Safaris
Your professional guide provides safe exposure to the African bush.
The modern-day "walking safari" is a loose term used to describe a variety of safari activities including: wilderness trails (fly-camping under the stars); backed-up walking safaris (vehicle back-up, fully serviced luxury mobile camps) and trails from fixed bases (tented camps, seasonal bushcamps, lodges).
A hugely eco-friendly way of discovering the African bush you'll discover the finer details which are not accessible from the back of a vehicle.

Our Recommended Walking Safaris
Cheetah, leopard and hyena tracking
$ 466
Okonjima - Home of the Africat Foundation
The cost is per person per night, an overnight stay is necessary to take part in the large carnivore tracking activity.
We suggest visiting Okonjima, essentially a rehabilitation centre, if you'd like to see big cats close-up, support the rescue programme and track big predators in the 4500 hectare rehabilitation park. This is a very worthy programme to support. Highlights include seeing wild leopards close-up, hunting for themselves and a 90% chance of seeing spotted hyena in the wild. Tea with the lions and excellent opportunities for photography.

This area has particularly good wild dog populations, a highly endangered African mammal. Even the flight into the reserve is exciting with magnificent giant inselbergs, large granite outcrops which are a feature of the region. This is Africa in her raw, beautiful and inspired state where you can walk, paddle and explore the wilderness with complete abandon. Combining this trip with a week on the beach afterwards makes for an ideal bush and beach safari with a difference!
