Wilderness Trails Camp

Found in many reserves in East and Southern Africa, a Wilderness Trails camp is small and dedicated to walking safaris. They can be permanent or erected for the duration of the trails season and offer a wide range of comfort standards from a mattress on the ground to luxury safari tents with en-suites.

Trails camps generally sleep a maximum of eight, and can be exclusive-use for your party or shared with other walking enthusiast guests. Guests may walk directly from camp, but it’s more usual to start with a short drive in a game viewing vehicle to walk at a different location each day.

See page 6 of Walking Safaris of Africa for more infomation about this style of walking safari.
