View ItineraryAre walking safaris safe?
Walking safaris involve wildlife-related risks, but qualified guides help manage them through careful planning, safety briefings and close attention to animal behaviour. Choose an established operator, follow instructions throughout the walk, and confirm the route’s difficulty, minimum age and escort arrangements before deciding whether the activity suits you.
Answered by the Fair Trade Safaris team · Last reviewed
A walking safari offers a different perspective from a game drive, with time to notice tracks, plants, insects and the details of the landscape.
Before booking, ask about:
- Guide qualifications and experience.
- Group size and escort arrangements.
- Walking distance and terrain.
- Minimum age and fitness requirements.
- Procedures for unexpected wildlife encounters.
On the walk, stay with the group and follow your guide’s instructions immediately. Do not approach animals or leave the agreed route.
Tell the operator about mobility limitations or medical conditions so they can assess suitability.
