Wilderness Trails |
These walking safaris are well suited to active and adventurous participants. They offer a rare and intimate opportunity to explore and learn about the African bush, its game and birdlife.
The best wilderness trails are found in Zimbabwe's side of the Zambezi Valley; both Mana Pools (Chitake Springs) and Matusadona are particularly good areas. We strongly recommend Graeme Lemon's Wilderness Trail in Matusadona - advance booking is essential. There is one wilderness trail with a difference - a grand portered trail over a week in the Zambia's Luangwa Valley is available on special request only. |

"Backed up" Walking Safaris |
The
"backed up" walking trails generally trace a specific walking
route through a wilderness area to rendezvous points en route where
overnight camps have been established by a support team. Each one of the
backed up walking trails that we offer is unique in character, they tend
to focus on specific wilderness areas known for their remoteness,
natural beauty or particularly good wildlife conditions.
Zambia and Zimbabwe boast the better backed up walking safaris, Botswana has one particularly good backed up walking safari in the Selinda Reserve. We strongly recommend the following backed up walking safaris:

Walking safaris from fixed bases |
The tented camps, seasonal bush camps and lodges serve as fixed bases from which walking trails are conducted. In all cases, these bases are located in areas of exceptional beauty, usually tucked away and blending with the bush and terrain - all are within relatively simple reach of areas that have big game (elephant, buffalo, antelope and smaller mammals are fairly common residents at some of these camps).
Fixed bases generally have more resources and additional staff on hand - creature comforts and extra activities are often more readily available.
There are a wide variety of camp and lodge options to choose from in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana - see our recommendations... |
