WALKING SAFARIS

Today's typical African safari holiday as enjoyed from the back of a game-viewing vehicle is an unforgettable visual experience not to be missed. Safari vehicles can approach wild animals closely, affording excellent opportunities for wildlife photography. However, a vehicle safari on its own lacks the unrivalled sensual experience of exploring the wilderness on foot in the timeless tradition of the original, classic African walking safari.

With Kukummi walking safari’s you'll get to hear, feel, taste, scent and intimately sense what our earliest ancestors and later explorers experienced travelling on foot through these same wilderness destinations.

Learning about the wilderness and its ways, you will begin to see the interconnectedness of all things in nature. The unique adventure of a wilderness trail with Kukummi Safaris is a holistic journey that will forever change the way you view nature and how the 'true' African safari experience should be.
