Kenya Walking Safaris
EXPERIENCES
For a real taste of the wild Kenyan bush, join a walking safari!
Walking safaris in Kenya are a fantastic way to explore the bush on safari, get closer to nature and concentrate on the small things you may miss in a safari vehicle.
The safari walks are generally arranged in small groups, however there is the possibility at some camps to do private walks.
You will be accompanied by an armed guide for your safety. The guides we use have a lifetime of experience co-existing with the wildlife of this area, you’re in good hands. They have expert knowledge of all aspects of the bush and will always be happy to talk you through everything, as are we.
Where to Do Walking Safaris in Kenya
Kenya walking safaris are only done in the private concessions such as Laikipia, as they are not permitted elsewhere. The concessions are privately owned and have a fantastic variety of game and predators.
Karisia Walking Safaris
Accompanied by Ndorobo trackers, engage in the age-old practice of tracking, enhancing the thrill of wildlife encounters. Karisia Walking Safaris embraces a spirit of adventure and a traditional safari ethos, valuing the raw and unfiltered experience of a Kenya walking safari. The friendly camel train transports comfortable mobile camps to remote and enchanting locations daily, allowing for a dynamic exploration of the region. These safaris traverse diverse terrains, revealing geological formations of immense antiquity that narrate tales of a rich and turbulent history alongside the Rift Valley.
Walking Wild at Lewa Wilderness Camp
Experience the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and the neighboring Il’Ngwesi Community Ranch on foot with expert Masaai guides. Lewa Wilderness Camp offers two to five nights mobile fly camping and is one of the few remaining places in East Africa where black and white rhino can still be seen roaming wild. Camels are used to carry the luggage, and netted domed tents are pitched for you each night in a new location. Kitonga and his team of Maasai guides do an incredible job of providing an experience of a lifetime, dining out and sleeping out under the stars.
A Kenya walking tour is the ideal activity for those of you who are active and want to get off the main roads and out of the vehicle to spend time with game on foot at their level. You do need a relatively good level of fitness for walking safaris as they can be a few hours long. However, most walks will involve a break with tea and snacks halfway through – perfect for refueling. Walks are undertaken during the cooler early hours of the day and late in the afternoon but can still be very strenuous for those not used to the hot and dry heat. Whether this is your first time or if you have done safari walks before, you are bound to learn something new.
