KENYA WALKING SAFARI ::: 7 DAYS WILD PLAINS WALKING SAFARI
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 game drives
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.
We require 2 pax to guarantee a departure.
