Kruger Park Tours: Walking Safari

 
 


To walk with the animals is to be out in the wild with the African Wildlife, sharing their paths and waterholes. We walk in their tracks, feel the tingle of their senses and hear the beating of your heart as you edge closer to a herd of elephant or buffalo resting in the shade from the noonday sun.
A safari is a journey of body and soul, an opportunity to get closer to the wonders and mysteries of nature. We believe in the magic of the bush and strive to offer that ‘once in a lifetime experience’ to all our guests.
In the mornings you set off at first light after a snack breakfast of rusks and coffee or tea. Enjoying the cool morning air we may walk directly from camp or else we use a vehicle to get further out. Your ranger will decipher the tracks and signs left by the passing animals during the night. The thrill of walking, tracking and getting up close to one of the creatures of the bush is an unforgettable experience.

On the walks we watch for all the signs of life, all the interesting things seen such as trees, plants, insects and birds. A big breakfast is prepared back in camp and then there is time to unwind and siesta during the heat of the day. After lunch is served it is time to head out again.

The afternoon activity is a walk/ drive combination, looking for tracks and activity in other areas. After the walk we drive to some of the beautiful spot in the reserve, we'll have sundowners while waiting for a stunning African sunset. As the diurnal animals and birds anxiously get ready for nightfall and hunting time, the stage and sounds change and a whole new world awakens. With our spotlight the night drive begins as we slowly make our way back to camp, looking for the nocturnal creatures such as the Bushbaby, Civet Cat and the Servel, and the porcupines become visible, we look out Ant Bears so seldom seen, with a bit of luck we may stumble across a Leopard as it sets off on the hunt, this is wildlife very rarely seen during the day.

Back in camp a hearty supper and a warm campfire will be waiting for you. After a long day in the bush there is nothing more rewarding then to sneak off to bed and listen to the sounds of the night under a blanket of the overwhelming African stars!

On the last day you will still go out for one last walk. Sniffing the typical scents of the bush you'll realize how much you've learned already! After breakfast it's time to pack up and go back to the bush pub, where you will pay the conservation fee and the drinks you've consumed in the camp. Then we say our goodbyes and transfer you back Nelspruit airport.
