Trackers, many of whom have grown up in the region, share their deep-rooted knowledge of the land, wildlife behavior, and survival skills passed down through generations.
Learn about the fascinating flora and geology of the area, including the medicinal and practical uses of indigenous trees and plants in traditional African customs and healing practices. From trees that treat ailments to plants used in tribal rituals, every step unveils a new layer of the bush’s rich heritage.
Walking safaris offer incredible photographic opportunities, especially for capturing macro details, textures, and unique wildlife interactions. Birdwatchers will appreciate the chance to observe and identify various species at eye level without the noise of a vehicle.
Comfortable neutral-colored clothing, closed walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and a small backpack for essentials like water and binoculars will enhance your experience.
