Experiencing Africa's wilderness areas is integral to most of our trips, & there's no better way than on foot. Walking safaris in Africa are completely different to game drives – being on foot brings about a totally new way of understanding your surroundings. Walking safaris were the original safari & remain the purest form. Away from the comfort of the 4WD safari vehicle your senses suddenly awaken as the bush becomes more ‘real’. This is where humans evolved & experiencing the sounds and smells just as all our ancestors did can be profound. Encountering animals on their terms as a participant in their world can be far more rewarding than just spectating – few things are as humbling as meeting a wild buffaloes on foot. This will be integrated with a game drive & followed by a transfer to Kibale Forest National Park. Overnight at Chimpanzee Forest Lodge or similar.
