Top 5 questions about walking safaris answered
Walking safaris, or bushwalks, offer a unique way to experience wildlife and landscapes, emphasizing the smaller details such as insects and plants. They foster a deep respect for nature. If you’re new to walking safaris, here are answers to the top five questions we receive.
What can I expect?
Unlike vehicle safaris, walking safaris allow you to get closer to wildlife and explore diverse landscapes, including areas inaccessible to vehicles. Your guide will provide educational insights into local flora and fauna and regional conservation efforts. You will also be presented with incredible photographic opportunities to capture unique and authentic wildlife moments up close, enhancing your photography skills.
Are walking safaris safe?
Yes, they are led by knowledgeable guides trained in wildlife behavior, first aid, and safety procedures. Prior to the safari, your guide will provide a thorough safety briefing, which includes information on how to behave around wildlife, what to do in different scenarios, and any specific hazards in the area. With small group sizes, guides can closely supervise participants, effectively mitigating potential risks throughout the experience.
How long are walking safaris?
The duration depends on several factors, such as the location and the preferences of the participants. Generally, walking safaris can range from a few hours to a full day. The duration can also be influenced by factors such as weather conditions, wildlife sightings, and the physical fitness of participants.
What should I wear?
Choose neutral-colored clothing like khaki, beige, brown, and green to blend with the surroundings. Avoid bright or dark colors. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics that can be layered for variable temperatures. Wear long sleeves to shield against the sun, insects, and thorny plants. Complete your outfit with sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and sturdy hiking boots paired with thick socks for comfort.
Are children allowed?
Young children are often not permitted due to safety considerations related to their age, ability to follow guide instructions, and physical capability to navigate challenging terrain for extended periods. It is advisable to consult with the lodge in advance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
