AFRICA WALKING SAFARI TIPS

Why should you take the Africa walking safari tips from Ontdek seriously? Our travel tips are gained from over 20 years on the walking trail as we are the leaders of walking holidays in Kenya. We organize walking safaris for private individuals as well as for respected overseas operators that deal specifically with walking vacations.

And now to the point: you’ve longed for the African walking safari, financially you are prepared but you must take responsibility for the kind of tour that you book. For some it could be the first time, for others it is a repeat trip but one rule passes for all, you must be well prepared if you are going to enjoy a walking safari in Africa. We are experienced in organizing walking safaris in Kenya since ’96.

An Africa walking safari is an ideal vacation for the active souls who can’t stand being cooped up in safari buses for days. What adds to the icing of your walking safari is the game that is found on the walks e.g. giraffes, zebras, gazelles, warthogs, monkeys and numerous birds.

There are different types of Africa walking safaris which can be applied for walking safaris in any African country:

- Choose whom to travel with: Whether your walking travel is organized as a group safari or a private walking safari – you owe yourself to thoroughly check the credentials of your safari outfitter. Yes, tour price matters but get the best balance between price & the tour quality. Demand and get info on accommodation, walking routes + distances, guiding, payment of park fees etc. Where things are left open-ended e.g. a morning walk but no specific details... trust your gut feeling.

- You will enjoy your Africa walking travel if you have a relatively good level of fitness. Once you’ve known the daily mileage, keep yourself in shape at least 6 weeks to the start of your walking holiday.

- A tip on walking distances – the Africa that you see on documentaries of open savannas is real and nice to look at (and be in) but it can be punishing if you are coming straight from the depth of a winter. Set your mind not so much to log in the most kilometers but to enjoy every meter walked. It beats reason to subscribe to a cross-country walking safari which puts a strain on you.

- On matters of health – make sure your jabs are up to date and you have consulted with your GP before booking your walking holiday in Africa.
