A walking safari is an adventurous activity where guests embark on slow paced, guided walks with the primary objective to explore different wildlife species along the bush. The small details that are overlooked on game drives become more apparent from the slower pace and lower angle of being on foot.
Are walking safaris safe?
Walking safaris are safe. Guides go through extensive wilderness and safety training and are armed wherever a possible threat might lurk. Incidents are few and far between, however, and when they occur, it’s often as a result of tourists’ disregard to guides’ directions.
What do you wear to safari Park?
A pair of comfortable long trousers or two, and a pair of shorts. Combat style trousers and shorts are ideal safari gear as they have several pockets, great for storing compact binoculars, suncream, camera etc.
What is the best time to go to safari Park?
The best time to go on safari is during the dry season, which is June to October for the majority of sub-Saharan Africa. Water is scarce at this time so animals tend to congregate at water sources, making them easier to spot (for safari-goers and predators).
What is the best time of day to do safari?
Early morning, this is generally the best time to spot the wildlife, as the temperature is cool and the animals are still very active, including the big cats, which will be returning from a night of hunting.
