The guide will respond to all of your inquiries and has in-depth knowledge of the local environment. Walking into such a huge, uninhabited section of the natural reserve is breathtaking. While you might glimpse a few giraffes or follow in the footsteps of some elephants, our walking safaris are designed to help you notice things that you would miss on a game drive inside the safari jeep or inside the boat.
You will gain greater knowledge about the ecology in which the creatures are found. Additionally, you will learn amazing facts about insects, forests, and the diverse bird life, as well as how to recognize animal footprints and other indicators.
