For an exhilarating safari experience in Africa, walking safaris come very highly recommended. From short walks you can fit in before lunch to several days of guided walking accompanied by a tracker and an armed guard, our experts at Exsus can advise you on the best kind of walking safari for you.
For short morning and afternoon walks many of the private game reserves in Kenya are worth a visit (we’d pick Lewa Safari Camp in Laikipia for gorgeous rolling scenery), as is the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania (try Beho Beho for incredible guides). Further south, many of the camps in Botswana will offer walks, as will many of the South African safari lodges. Worth a particular mention is the South Luangwa in Zambia, where walking safaris were really pioneered. Almost all of the camps here will offer walking as an activity, and many, like Tafika have satellite camps that you can walk out to.
Finally, there are a handful of operators that cater to committed walkers, and offer walking safaris as their only, or primary activity. These include the wonderful Karisia Walking Safaris in Kenya, and Mwaleshi in Zambia.
