If you get the opportunity, a walking safari adds a completely new dimension to any trip. Often referred to as ‘bush walks’, they are a great way to get out of the vehicle and stretch your legs during a trip which is often filled with little exercise and lots of incredible food.
First time safari goes may shake at the thought of walking around the bush without the protection of a vehicle, however this is very safe and the guides are armed and well trained. The walks themselves tend to be aimed at seeing the smaller things which are usually missed in a vehicle and learning about survival and culture, rather than trying to get as close as possible to predators and elephants.
Walking safaris are prohibited in Kenya’s national parks and reserves, so if walking is an activity you want to make the most of then there are a number of private conservancies that can offer incredible walking safaris.
