Walking Safari Experiences

A walking safari offers a completely different way to experience Uganda and Rwanda. Instead of viewing the landscape from a safari vehicle, you explore it on foot, giving you the chance to slow down, notice the smaller details and experience the sounds, smells and surroundings of the wilderness more closely.

Our walking experiences take place in carefully selected areas where walking is permitted and safe, including wildlife parks, forests and community areas. Depending on your itinerary, you may walk through savannah, woodland or forest, with an experienced local guide leading the way.

Without the distance and height of a safari vehicle, you begin to notice things that can easily be missed on a game drive, animal tracks, footprints, insects, birds, plants and signs of wildlife activity. Your guide helps interpret these details and explains how animals use and move through their environment.

Walking safaris can range from relatively easy nature walks to longer and more active trails, depending on your interests and fitness level. They can also be combined with other experiences such as gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, mountain hiking and wildlife game drives.

For us, a walking safari is not about rushing to find as many animals as possible. It is about being present in the environment and experiencing the wilderness at a more personal pace.

Leave the vehicle behind, follow the trail and discover East Africa from a different perspective, one step at a time.
