Conducted by a fully licensed and highly experienced professional guide, walking safaris are usually undertaken in the mornings and replace a morning game drive or combine as part of it. The walks are at a gentle pace, so you don’t have to be super fit to do them, however, they can last for two to three hours and therefore, require a reasonable level of stamina, particularly in the hotter months. Walks are ideal for photography of big game on foot and for those wanting to view wildlife at a different perspective. There is something very special about game walks as it is an incredibly quiet and peaceful way to explore the African bush and I would highly recommend experiencing a walk at least once on your safari; particularly in Zimbabwe which is renowned for having the best walking guides in Africa due to the difficult levels of exams and qualifications, as well as experience, needed to become a pro guide.
