the natural way to explore wilderness
The Okavango Delta is a vast and diverse ecosystem that is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and hippos. Walking safaris allow visitors to experience this natural wonder up close and personal, as trained guides lead them on treks through the bush. Along the way, visitors can observe animals in their natural habitat, learn about local flora and fauna, and soak up the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the African wilderness.
Walk Botswana and David Foot Safaris are both local walking safari specialist outfitters and numerous lodges offer walking safaris in the Okavango, often combined with mekoro travel on the waterways. Ker & Downey operate a dedicated trails camp and in the southern Delta African Guide Academy runs a number of fascinating training courses including Nature Guide, Trails Guide and a shorter Wilderness Trails course.
Trails Guide training is open to everyone, and not just those planning a career in guiding. The game-rich Okavango is the perfect venue to learn while on foot.
