Walking & Wilderness
Walking & Wilderness Safaris
Choosing to explore the African bush on foot is unlike any experience you might have in the comforts of a Safari vehicle. Walking Safaris offer you the opportunity to take a life’s journey onto a land where man has faced the wilderness for centuries, where the Big Five roam alongside the little five every day.
Step off the vehicle with your personal Guide and Tracker to follow ancient elephant paths meandering through the veld in search of tributaries and waterholes. Sit on a rocky outcrop after tracking a leopard awaiting its departure from a dip in thick bush. Watch your guide coax an ant lion from its conical pit. Learn about the mysticism and use of plants and trees in traditional culture and medicine. Touch, feel, and explore your surroundings with renewed senses.
To go on Safari means to take a journey, and a journey on foot offers unparalleled adventure.
All of Kruger2Canyons’ walking Safari itineraries are exclusive Trail experiences with a maximum of eight guests. Morning walks are often combined with afternoon drive/walk combinations, allowing you to absorb the best of both worlds. The rugged experience of exploring on foot combined with the comfort of exclusive accommodation opens you up to a journey building memories that last a lifetime.

The Tusker Trail
To walk is to be out there with the African wildlife, sharing their paths and waterholes, the daily dramas of their lives, sharing their space. To walk is to follow their tracks, feel the tingle of your own senses and hear the beating of your heart as you edge closer to a herd of elephant resting in the shade.
The Tusker Trail
To sleep in a tent under the trees with only the canvas between you and the bush is an experience not easily forgotten. A Safari is a journey of the body and the soul, a venture into the unknown and an opportunity to face some of the mysteries of nature. By offering an affordable “once in a lifetime experience”, everyone can learn to believe in the magic of the bush.
