WALKING WILD

6 Nights / 7 Days

Hiking in Africa“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.
