Africa On Foot - Wilderness Trails

29/01/2025

Walkings safari's are an incredibly low-impact way to experience the African bush.

Leave-no-trace satellite camps are set up in unique locations each evening while traversing through the bush on foot allows for an entirely new experience of the African wilderness.

Safaris awaken a desire to protect and conserve the wild places of our world.
We compiled a list of small everyday acts that make a big difference. Read more on our blog about how you can contribute to conservation efforts from the comfort of your home, wherever that may be.

There is nothing ordinary about a day spent walking and exploring the African wilderness. But here is what to expect on a 'typical' day on trail.

🐾 Rising with the sun, each begins with a dawn chorus of birdsong and a cup of freshly brewed coffee

🐾 Walking begins with a 3/4 hour walk while the air is still cool

🐾The first stop is a long, lazy brunch followed by a siesta in the bush

🐾 We continue on the trail until we reach our next campsite for the night

🐾 Settle in and enjoy some light refreshments

🐾 Depart for an evening game drive where we got the opportunity to spot predators and cover more ground

🐾 Return to camp for your gourmet dinner beneath the stars. Share stories from the day's adventures around a crackling campfire with the sounds of the wild all around

One of the many highlights of exploring Kruger on foot is learning how to track from the experts. Because your walk is led by a qualified guide, they will teach you how to determine the freshness of the tracks, the species, and the direction the animal was headed.
These walkers discovered fresh leopard tracks and spent time following in its footsteps.

You've probably heard of a zebra crossing, but have you heard of an elephant crossing? Here at Trails, we encounter a lot more elephant crossings than zebra crossings! The Olifants River, which courses through our reserve, offers a life force for a wealth of wildlife - especially our elephants! 🐘🐘🐘🐘

Have you ever seen a column of soldier ants marching to their own tune? 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

When you explore the wild on foot, led by our qualified trails guide, you'll discover the small wonders of nature, like these Matabele ants. It's quite a marvel to watch thousands of these ants swarm across the road in a neat column. They prey on termites, hiss when agitated and leave a rather stinging bite.
