Kenya Walking Safaris And Wildlife Tours

Welcome to Kenya walking safaris and wildlife tours which are designed for active people who want to an African walking safari that has quality time for guided game viewing walks away from mass tourism. We use private game conservancies and small national parks where there is an abundance of plain game and nature is at its best.

The easily available game like Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelles, Colobus Monkeys and the very interesting bird life are guaranteed interruptions during the walks. Enjoy hiking in the ever changing and enticing scenery; small lakes in the craters, tropical rain forests and snow on the Equator, high escarpments, hot springs and the open savannah. With Masai Morans as our guides , a walking safari in Masai Mara through a community game reserves next to the main park,will be one of the many highlights of this walking tour.

All our walks are African educational adventures and they are an excellent chance for each participant to travel in nature with a small group of like-minded people.

The guided walks are non-competitive and the level of fitness needed is not for top athletes; as long as one is reasonably healthy and enjoys being outdoors, he/she will thoroughly enjoy the tours.

We keep the holiday spirit within your African walking safari, with the day's activities programmed to leave you with enough time to just rest. But should you wish to spend the whole day out, the walking distances are flexible and we provide more than one guide to accommodate different walking abilities.

Knowing that many people associate African walking safaris with basic camping, we would like to emphasize that we only use tourist class lodges with en-suite accommodation and high standards of hospitality. We select the safari lodges and tented camps based on their unique service, settings and close proximity to our walking sites. For total relaxation during the tour we stay in one of our selected lodges for minimum 2 nights and this gives us a base away from home without the inconvenience of packing up every morning. In addition we provide full ground support so clients do not have to help with the daily chores of running the tour. We believe that our deliberate decision to use lodges and to fully cater for our tours is what mainly makes our walking tours in Kenya attractive to the active senior travelers and also to families with children.

Kindly review the itineraries below, which are for some of our most popular tours. Consider we can tailor-make an itinerary to suit your traveling scheme. We look forward to hosting you walking in Kenya.
