WALKING OR TREKKING 
SAFARIS
One of the most intimate ways of 
engaging with the African wilderness 
is on a walking safari. Expert trackers 
and armed scouts track pawprints, 
identify birds and reveal the savanna’s 
hidden rhythms. Walking and trekking 
safaris through remote jungles are 
also the best way to meet mountain 
gorillas, chimpanzees, and many other 
primates in their natural environment. 
Where: Bwindi Impenetrable 
National Park and Kibale (Uganda), 
Nyungwe and Volcanoes National 
Park (Rwanda), South Luangwa 
(Zambia), Masai Mara, Samburu, and 
Lewa (Kenya), Sabi Sands Reserve 
and Timbavati (South Africa), Moremi 
Game Reserve (Botswana).

National Park, Rwanda.
HORSEBACK SAFARIS
Horseback safaris offer a primal 
connection to the wild. Experienced 
riders can take guided trips through 
Botswana’s seasonal floodplains, 
while in conservancies around the 
Masai Mara, horses can bring you 
surprisingly close to thundering 
wildebeest herds. With the noise 
of engines replaced by the steady 
beat of hooves, the experience feels 
incredibly unique and immersive.
Where: Manyeleti & Sabi Sands (South 
Africa), Ol Pejeta and Lewa (Kenya), 
Okavango Delta (Botswana).
CYCLING SAFARIS
Swap the roar of engines for a guided 
cycling safari in wild areas like 
Laikipia. Though focused on “non-
dangerous” game viewing, armed 
rangers accompany you, leading 
the way through open savanna and 
bushland. These adrenaline-filled 
journeys along lesser-used tracks 
bring you closer to raw nature and 
unique wildlife encounters, while 
covering more ground than you would 
on foot.
Where: Laikipia, Lewa, Borana, and Ol 
Pejeta Private Conservancies (Kenya).
