Experience Africa Like Never Before: The Rise of Multisensory Safaris
Traditional African safaris have long been about spotting the Big Five and capturing breath-taking photographs.
But in 2025, a new wave of safaris is transforming the experience—engaging all five senses for a deeper, more immersive connection with nature.
Listen to the Wild
Sound plays a crucial role in wildlife survival, and sound safaris are bringing this often-overlooked sense to the forefront.
Equipped with high-sensitivity microphones and headphones, guests can experience the intricate soundscape of the African wilderness.
Imagine hearing a rhino chew, giraffes’ necks collide, or hippos engage in underwater conversations.
These unique encounters enrich the safari experience beyond what the eyes can see.
Our sound safaris include an interactive presentation and two game drives: a late afternoon/evening drive to capture the dusk and night sounds, and an early morning excursion to enjoy the dawn chorus. You’ll discover:
How and why big cats roar
The tapping sounds of elephant shrews
The significance of infrasonic elephant rumbles
Birds’ early morning songs
Ingenious ways animals communicate across vast distances
A Safari for All the Senses
Multisensory safaris go beyond just sound, incorporating touch, taste, and smell into the experience.
Silent walking safaris, like those offered at Chem Chem Lodges in Tanzania, invite guests to immerse themselves in the land, feeling the texture of the earth beneath their feet while absorbing the tranquillity of the bush.
A More Inclusive Safari Experience
This new approach also ensures that African safaris are more accessible and inclusive for neurodivergent travellers and those with disabilities.
We continually prioritize detailed audio descriptions, tactile experiences, and personalized itineraries that cater to individual comfort levels.
Visually impaired guests can engage with their surroundings through touch and scent, while neurodivergent travellers benefit from clear expectations and customized experiences.
A Deeper Connection with Nature
With growing demand for meaningful travel, multisensory safaris encourage guests to slow down, be present, and appreciate Africa in a whole new way.
By embracing sound, touch, taste, and smell, travellers can form an authentic bond with nature—one that transcends traditional safari experiences.
Join us on this journey and discover a multisensory safari in Africa like never before.
