Walking in the bush brings your senses alive
We're not talking here about hiking, climbing or mountaineering. This is for those of us who simply want to step off their safari vehicle, pause and take a few moments to absorb their true surroundings... Without the confines of a 4-wheel drive!
Guided nature walks, otherwise known as walking safaris, typically last one to three hours and you yourself will set the pace. Depending on where you are staying, you may be able to do a walking safari as a gentle stroll around your camp, searching for tracks and smelling the flora you will have previously missed when driving by. Alternatively, there are some camps who are able to take you on walks further afield, in search of larger mammals such as elephant, rhino, wildebeest and giraffe. This will increase your heart-rate and you'll be recounting these experiences for the rest of your life!
Your safari guide will be armed, in case of emergencies, and this will provide you with a comfort, knowing that you are not vulnerable, but can confidently explore and learn about the ecosystems with your guides enlightening stories. Even if you hate walking, or don't think you're in any way suited to this activity, we at Far & Wild firmly believe that given appropriate preparation, you'll be amazed at what you learn and feel.
I’ve walked for countless hours in the bush and think all families, friends and couples should give this a go!

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… that’s why our focus is on using our community to make your holiday COME TO LIFE.
