Walking safari in Kenya

Walking safari in Kenya : Would you like to get up very close to the sights, sounds, and scents of nature? To truly immerse yourself in our intriguing natural world, nothing beats a walking safari.

Imagine a slow-paced guided walk, intended to take in the small details of the bush’s flora and fauna. In contrast to a Jeep-driven game drive, a walking safari allows you to observe numerous details that a Jeep-driven game drive might miss. You could say that a walking safari is an adventure that moves at the speed of nature.

However, this is only possible if you respect the land and its species by abstaining from regular conversation, getting silent, and paying attention to the textures, colours, noises, and other details that the wildlife uses to navigate their environment.

Your Guide.

Your guide, who is knowledgeable with the sights and sounds of the surrounding creatures, will lead you on your nature walk. This also includes finding feces or scat on the path. In this case, temperature is important; the closer the animal, the warmer the scat.

Your guide may be an experienced, self-assured, professional Samburu, Hadzabe, or Maasai people , depending on where you decide to go on safari. Depending on your preferences, he will guide you for a few hours, an entire day, or longer.

There will be a variety of smaller wildlife to see, including warthogs, gazelles, dik-diks, and mongooses. But don’t be surprised when you get up close to zebra, giraffe, buffalo, rhino, hyena, and elephant. And sightings of lions and leopards are not unheard of.

There’s nothing quite like the knee-shaking delight of suddenly spotting a large rhino or elephant just yards away, checking you out and taking your measure!

Walking The Great Migration.

The Great Wildebeest Migration is an extraordinary drama in the Serengeti and Masai Mara where millions of herding wildlife cross the Mara River.

A walking safari on the Serengeti side of the river is a great chance to get up close and personal with this unique event. As the countless wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles crowd, sprint, and swim across the Mara in an effort to elude crocodiles and the large predators on the opposite bank, you may get up close and personal with them there.

You’ll be able to witness this age-old struggle between grazer and predator for survival in all its splendour.

Walking safaris guided by Maasai guides are available at the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, which borders the Masai Mara and is also close by. These safaris take you through breathtaking scenery. This is one of the few places where you can experience a walking safari without leaving your Jeep.

Sounds like enjoyable and a new way of finding the hidden treasures of Africa. We offer an exciting variety of walking safaris in Kenya and Tanzania to get you up close to our natural world of wonders.
