Elephants in South Africa. Just one of the sights you could be witnessing on foot with an educational walking safari holiday. The Walking Adventure

The educational walking trails safari trips are all about imparting wildlife knowledge to the guest. It's also about nature conservation and enhancing the appreciation of nature in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere; the African bush.

The trails are designed for wildlife enthusiasts who are eager to learn more but not in the more formal structure of say our safari guide courses. They are structured for more informal learning through a mixture of interesting lectures, discussions and “in the field” observations on the morning and afternoon walks.

....in Kruger National Park and Greater Kruger, South Africa

 
Core topics covered in the lectures and discussions are mammals, birds and trees. Other topics depend on the experiences while out walking and are likely to include such subjects as ecology, signs of the bush, insects, grasses, astronomy etc, and additional focus can be given to specific subjects.

Accommodation & location
Selati camp

Selati Camp is situated on the banks of the Selati River in the 33 000 hectare (81 545 acre) Selati Game Reserve to the west of the Kruger National Park. Camp accommodation is simple and rustic in dome tents with shared bathroom facilities and there is a communal area where learners gather for meals and lectures every day.

Selati is a good place for viewing lion, white rhino and elephant. General game is plentiful and you might even get to see the large herd of eland, as well as the rare sable antelope.

The Selati camp is unfenced, and animals do on occasion wander through the camp. Learners have woken up in the morning to find the tracks of elephant, leopard or lion around the camp.

The sleeping arrangements at all camps consist of 2 people sharing per tent. Single requests are required to pay double-rates. Women and men do not share tents unless booked as a couple.
 

Madach Camp is located in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, in the Greater Kruger National Park region. The unfenced camps are private and secluded and not open to day visitors.

Madach can sleep up to 12 people in large walk-in twin-bedded tents (linen is provided, so sleeping bags are not needed) with sown-in mosquito screens.

Ablutions are separate but close with hot showers and flush toilets.

Although there is no electricity, there is solar lighting, candles, lanterns and a campfire to guide you around the camp at night. Meals are prepared in the kitchen tent and served in the dining tent.

We are able to traverse across 12000 hectares of prime game area with regular sightings of lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard, rhino and general game. The birdlife is also excellent.
