WALKING SAFARI

Are you searching for a safari away from vehicles and their window views? Experience the subtle sounds of the African bush on foot where you smell the fresh aroma of the morning grass on the plains or wander through a mountain valley and beautiful sceneries. Our local tribal guides with intimate knowledge of their surrounding accompany us to ensure we miss nothing. We visit colourful areas of the Maasai villages and get a chance to observe their traditional ways of life.
Walking is in a comfortable pace with binoculars and camera close to hand. Our vehicle or pack animals (Donkeys) forge ahead to set up camp and arrange meal stops. Here we pitch tents or fly camp! After a few days walking we proceed for game drives at Maasai Mara national park for gamedrives since walking is not allowed here. Your comfort and security are basic concerns that are primary to the itinerary.

Walking safaris directly benefit local people who provide guides and pack animals as well as having a minimal impact on the natural environment.
Please find some of our walking safari itineraries that include walk and drive sectors. We would be happy to tailor make /design your safari to meet your budget /requirements.
