The Natural Way To Explore Wilderness
Stay at a fixed camp that is dedicated to walking safaris. Sometimes called “Wilderness Trail camps”, these can be permanent or erected for the duration of the trails season. A wide range of comfort standards are available from a mattress on the ground to luxury safari tents with en-suites.
Guests may walk directly from camp, but it’s more usual to start with a short drive in a game viewing vehicle, and walk at a different location each day.
Trails camps generally sleep a maximum of eight, and can be exclusive-use for your party or shared with other guests.
Trails camps can be found in many reserves in East and Southern Africa, with the greatest choice in the Kruger National Park and Greater Kruger reserves. Some camps in South Africa, Botswana and Kenya offer immersive walks-based nature training courses.
