Walking Trails Safaris
... and Canoe Trails Safaris
Trails Explorations are not accommodation specific - Adventurer dome tents and Discoverer Meru tents as well as sleeping platforms are used - and are defined rather by the self-propelled nature of the experience, whether this be on foot, canoe or bicycle.
These Explorations are about reconnecting with nature and embracing the elements away from the luxury of vehicles, whether on the rocky plains of the Kaokoveld, in a canoe on the waters of the Zambezi, or on foot on the fine alluvial sands of Pafuri and Selinda.
Walking on safari has always been regarded as the finest way to really get a feel for the African wilderness. The walking trail experience allows guests to get their feet on the ground and really feel, smell and touch Africa. We will walk for several hours a day, but it is done at a moderate pace and can be enjoyed by most guests, with plenty of time for quality game viewing and birding on foot.
