Africa, as the pioneers knew it, on foot, with intrigue at every step. Your guide leads a maximum of 4 guests along the time-worn trails of antelope and elephant, unveiling the mystery of the virgin bush.

Your walking safari is a 5 night adventure into the wilderness of the Reserve, led by your very experienced armed professional guide and a bushman tracker. Morning walks are conducted at a leisurely pace, ending at a comfortable fly-camp where the luxury of iced drinks and delicious meals await you. Gentle evening strolls are followed by dinner cooked over an open fire - with, naturally, a glass of chilled wine! |
| "The best safari experience is
the one closest to nature and there is no substitute for walking, until
you have had enough, and then forgetting exhaustion as you spot the
magnificent creatures. Elephant, giraffe, cheetah. Then stalking or
crawling in close, until you smell the elephant or hear the giraffe chew
the acacia thorns. Finally, to let its life undisturbed, to leave it,
quietly, as you found it". (Bartle Bull) |

The Selinda area is well known for its hippo-killing lions, cheetah, wild dog and if you’re lucky , a leopard on your night drive. Good sightings of plains game such as giraffe, wildebeest, impala, lechwe, tsessebe, kudu and elephant are common, plus the added excitement of night predators like hyena, jackal, bat-eared fox and small cats. Bird watching is excellent and many owls can be spotted on the night drives. Rates:
