As an alternative to game viewing in the safari vehicle, you can also experience a walking safari. Being on foot in the African bushveld is an adrenaline pumping experience that will afford you the opportunity to take in the finer details. It is an experience that truly awakens the senses being fully immersed in nature, being able to smell, hear and physically touch the surroundings. You are literally walking in the animals’ footsteps!
