“The
most exhilarating
way to experience
the vast landscapes
and rich wildlife
of Africa is by traveling
on foot. On foot
you walk on equal
terms with the wildlife”
This walking safari
is an experience
through some of Kenya’s
best wildlife-viewing
habits-the Lewa Wildlife
Conservancy and two
Maasai Community
Conservation areas,
Il Ngwesi and Lekurruki.
These 3 areas provide
some of the most
stunning landscapes
in Africa and are
home to a wide variety
of game including
the “Big Five” (Rhino,
Elephant, Lion, Leopard,
Buffalo), over 420
species of birds,
Reticulated Giraffe,
Cheetah, numerous
different antelopes,
and endangered species
such as the Grevy’s
Zebra and Sitatunga.
The
safari is led by
professional guides
from Wilderness
Trails (located on
the Lewa Wildlife
Conservancy and recognized
as on of Africa’s
top safari destinations).
You will be camping
under the stars and
guests will traverse
a variety of ecosystems,
enabling them to
experience the diversity
of flora and fauna
that the areas have
to offer. The focus
of the safari is
learning about the
ecosystems as well
as the local Maasai
culture. Guests will
be taught tracking
techniques and other
vital bush skills,
as well as how to
identify and understand
the behaviour of
the insects, plants,
and animals they
come across. Local
Maasai morani (warriors)
will join the guests
to give insight into
traditional Maasai
customs.
