What Is a Walking Safari?

A walking safari is a guided nature walk through game-rich wilderness areas, led by trained naturalists and armed rangers. You’ll track animals, learn to identify plants, read footprints, and truly immerse yourself in the ecosystem.

Unlike traditional game drives, Kenya walking safaris focus on the little details:
Animal tracks, bird calls, dung & territorial markings
Medicinal plants, geology & insect life
Chance encounters with wildlife — always at safe distances
Walks range from 2–6 hours, or multi-day treks with fly camps
