Experience the untamed beauty of the Selous Game Reserve on a walking safari, where you can immerse yourself in the African wilderness like never before. Guided by expert rangers, these safaris offer an intimate look at the reserve’s diverse flora and fauna. Walk through lush landscapes, observe wildlife up close, and learn about the intricate ecosystems that sustain this incredible environment. Walking safaris provide a unique, ground-level perspective that heightens your connection to nature and offers thrilling encounters with animals in their natural habitat.
You will be led by a friendly guide who has extensive knowledge and experience of life in the bush. They will show you how to read the clues in the bush – a steaming pile of dug indicates an Elephant passed through not long ago. Walk in the huge wrinkled foot prints for a while.
Listen out for the chirps and trills of birds and the guide will help you identify them. Listen and you may hear alarm calls indicating the presence of a predator nearby. Lion and Wild Dog are rarely encountered on walks, but Elephants and Buffalo are frequently seen.
Feel the pace of your heart quicken as you slowly, quietly come quite close to a herd of Elephant, under careful instruction from your guide. You suddenly realise just how big an African Elephant really is
When the day warms up, you will rest in the shade of a spreading Acacia tree overlooking a waterhole. The guide may produce refreshments or perhaps a light lunch will be laid out. Rest and watch to see what game comes down to drink at the water. When it cools down, you will continue your intrepid adventures
You will return to the camp or lodge in the late afternoon, having enjoyed many spectacular experiences which will have expanded your horizons.
