There’s nothing quite like a walking safari in a big game area to get the senses going.

That delicious tension and awareness of what you could come across when walking in wilderness opens up the senses, with sight, hearing and feeling all working together to fully appreciate what is colloquially known as ‘the bush’.

From Zambia, the home of the modern walking safaris, to Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho and Tanzania, we have a range of trails at our fingertips.

There are a range of options available to safari and walking and hiking enthusiasts in southern and east Africa, from carrying full gear on multi-day trails through a game reserve / national park to slackpacking – walking out every day from a base in the bush (as with the images of a trails camp in the Kruger Park below).

Moving beyond national parks, as experienced safari-goers know, there’s far more to a walking safari or hiking trail than the big five. South Africa boasts some of the finest walking trails through areas of great natural beauty, often rich in wildlife, but not the Big Five.

These allow for safe, relaxed, easy walking, including youngsters of appropriate ages, learning and bonding experiences – appealing to the growing interest in family travel.
