The sounds of birdlife, crickets, and occasional snapping of broken twigs underfoot – a walking safari lets you immerse yourself entirely in nature. Throughout is the splendor, scenery and vastness of the bush. Adrenalin peaks with occasional animal encounters: Safely guided by knowledgeable and qualified guides, you come across grazers, like zebra and impala, browsers like elephant and giraffe and even sometimes predators and raptors.
Most Lodges offer an after-breakfast walk (usually an hour) or you could do a more full-scale, 1-3 day walking safari (with no game drives). For avid hikers, the coastal areas offer other exquisite routes like The Otter Trail and Whale Trail Meander. In Cape Town, a hike up Lion’s Head or Table Mountain gives you an ever-changing and splendid perspective on the most beautiful city in the world.
