Where to Go on a Walking Safari?
Walking Safaris are popular tours across Eastern and Southern regions. They are mostly divided into two main types involving short guided bush walks and multi-day guided walking safaris. Countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and Botswana offer immersive, luxury walking safari experiences. Bush walks in designated zones of the Masai Mara Game Reserve and along the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve are especially popular. Ruaha National Park and Tarangire National Park are great spots for walking safaris in Tanzania. In Botswana, walking across the Makgadikgadi Pans is a unique experience, comparatively off-beat compared with other destinations.
What Wildlife Can Be Seen on a Walking Safari?
To be clear, 4×4 game drives offer the best wildlife views on safari. However, walking safaris also offer views of various small creatures, large mammals and birds. Mammals like elephants, water buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes, rhinos, hippos and zebras are mostly spotted on walking safaris. Antelopes and smaller wildlife such as impala, kudu, eland and warthogs can be spotted near water bodies. You may not spot large predators, as walking safaris are not conducted in predator-prone zones to ensure traveller safety.
Are Walking Safaris Safe to Conduct?
Walking safari tours are often considered an alternative to game drives and offer an eco-friendly approach to viewing wildlife while capturing breathtaking landscapes. Yes, walking safaris are safe when led by the right people. Each walk is guided by a certified, experienced guide, usually with an armed ranger, who reads animal behaviour and keeps the group at a safe distance. Groups stay small and follow clear signals after a detailed briefing. Walks take place in the calmest hours, early morning and late afternoon, on carefully chosen routes. If you can walk two to three hours at an easy pace, you are ready.

Walking Safari
Frequently Asked Questions.
Most walks last 2 to 4 hours, usually in the early morning or late afternoon. Longer full-day walks and multi-day trails between camps are also available.
Your guide will brief you in advance. Stay calm, stay behind the guide, follow hand signals, and never run. Most encounters end with the animal simply moving on.
The dry season is generally best, as vegetation is thinner and animals gather near water. The exact months depend on the country, so that we will advise you based on your destination.
A moderate level of fitness is enough. Walks are done at a slow, easy pace with regular stops, so you should be comfortable walking two to three hours over uneven ground.
Wear neutral colours such as khaki, olive, and beige, and avoid bright colours, white, and dark blue or black. Bring sturdy closed shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, a light jacket for cool mornings, binoculars, and a refillable water bottle.
