Big game viewing is usually done from the safari truck. A nature walk is entirely different, and all the more exciting, because on foot you discover the small hidden secrets of Africa’s bush.
A walk lasts one to two hours, in the morning or the evening. You learn to read animal tracks and droppings, and about flowers, the uses of plants (as a toothbrush, as medicine, or as poison), insects, birds and rock formations.
What you learn out there
Learn the wilderness skills that Africa’s bush peoples use to thrive in a harsh environment. It is also a welcome chance to stretch your legs after long hours sitting in the safari truck.
How it is run
You walk with a professional guide and an armed park ranger, for safety in case of any encounter. Before setting off, you are briefed on the do’s and don’ts of the walk.
Every walk brings new discoveries, and some bring views you could not imagine.
Where you can walk
Some parks also have designated walking trails where no armed ranger is needed, so do take the chance. On the drive between Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Conservation Area lies Oldupai Gorge, the famous archaeological site, which also offers a walk. Let your guide know in advance and it is simple to arrange.
